This is the output when I did the grub --device-map=device.map command: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb (hd2) /dev/sdc (hd3) /dev/sdd It looks good except I don't have a floppy and I haven't tested anything and I can't because I'm running late as it is. :-( That is just fine. You may not have a floppy drive installed, but you

With this and your /etc/fstab, it is possible to rebuild grub's menu.lst. Your root device is /dev/sda8, and /boot is on it (ie. not a separate partition). In grub, this is (hd0,7). Thus gfxmenu (/dev/sda,7)/boot/message should read gfxmenu (hd0,7)/boot/message (I missed just how that original line got that way in the first place. Did you read it somewhere? Whoever suggested that notation is out of his tree.) Curiously, your Windows section in menu.lst is OK. However, the "root" command in both openSuSE sections is wrong. It should read: root (hd0,7) The kernel options are correct insofar as partition references are concerned (ie. the root= and resume= options). It is possible that the grub MBR contains incorrect offsets because of these errors. However, correct menu.lst only and see if you can boot; we can re-install the grub boot record later, if that proves to be necessary. The only other possible source of a problem is a missing or incorrect stage 1.5 file embedded in the grub MBR. We'll check that if the above corrections do not work. -- Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. -- HG Wells -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
