My desktop system has been running oS v11.1, which is installed on one of the two hard disks. The other HD contains an older oS release which I wish to replace with oS v11.3. This alternation is the way I have been upgrading the software for several years. Each installed system has a SWAP partition in sdX5, a / partition in sdX6, and /home in sdX7. (All the partitions are logical; the only primary partition is an IBM Boot Manager In each of the two installed systems, GRUB is located in the / partition. When I tried to install oS v11.3, the process failed when it should have done the first repeat. That is, the installer announced a reboot, but nothing actually happened. Booting the system goes as follows: IBM Boot Manager comes up with its menu offering me the two systems (only one of which is actually installed). I choose one, the appropriate openSuSE boot manager appears for about a second, followed by the following on a black screen: ***** root (hd1,5) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition tiype 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.48-0.2-default root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata- Hitachi_HDP725025GLA380_GEK264RS01U4JA-part6 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata- HDS728080PLA380_PFDB37ELRUB49E-part5 splash=silent vga=0x31a Error 15: File not found ***** The above is for one of the boot choices; the other differs only by the HD numbers. (For those familiar with DFSee, I have generated the DFSDISK analysis files for the system, and have sent them for analysis to DFSee Support a couple of weeks ago, but have received no response, no doubt because the developer is on vacation. Any helpful insight about getting past this hurdle, and either finishing/reinstalling 11.3 or at least gaining access to the v11.1 installation, would be enormously appreciated. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
