Hello SuSE people,
Hi to you too,
No, my grub proposal was just the opposite. It proposed the mbr and I changed it to the new proposed root partition (hd2,7) (I have 3 drives) Looking at the proposed grub menu it seemed correct, showing my other os's. At the first reboot when the grub menu came up 11.2 wasn't there. so I edited the grub file and added it. When I tried to boot it I got the message I reported above.
Hi Bob, Ok the fact that 11.2 was not a choice in the GRUB menu let me think that your are booting with the OLD GRUB (prior to 11.2 install). This GRUB version is not able to load ext4 partitions (I have read it on this list, dunno where at present). So, even if you manually add the link to the new installed kernel, it wont be able to load it. So I think that GRUB was previously installed on the MBR and that during 11.2 install you installed the NEW GRUB on the root partition, without erasing the old one on the MBR, which seems to prevail.
If i am wrong please someone reading this correct me.
Hi Matthias, Unbelievable! You are absolutely correct that that the MBR stage 1 is from 11.0 or even 10.2 or 10.3. I have several os's that boot from that. I always install grub to the / partitions, and that is what I did with the install of 11.2. So, we are saying that 11.2 will not boot from that? Incredible. This is a new revised grub? ! How are we supposed to know that? Nothing in the installation notes. Guess I will have to reinstall 11.2 as ext3 unless I want to muck everything up. Thanks so much. Now off to answer Felix who provided more insight into what you provided me. Thanks again. Will post my results here.
