grub root (hd0,2)
In 'grub-speak' "(hd0,2)" means the first hard disk, third partition (numbering starts at 0)...
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
it's telling you there is no third partition on /dev/hda, which is correct.

So maybe all I have is a grub problem. Your idea of trimming some off of the end of my swap sounds ok too, but if I can fix this by just modifying my boot loader setup, that would be even better. I went into menu.lst and changed the (hd0,2) entries to (hd0,1), but now I have another problem. I was trying to use the grub utility in YaST earlier and now, when I run grub and say -
find /boot/grub/stage1
it says -
Error 15: File not found
Ooops! I guess I've got it really screwed up now! Before you did this, did you run "root (hd0,1)" at the grub prompt?
Never mind on this one. I finally figured it out. This Storix software that I use to do full disk backup/restore changed all of the references in grub and screwed it up. Grub support in this software is still fairly new and they obviously haven't gotten all of the kinks out of it yet. Thanks, Greg Wallace
