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 ***** (...) 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
I'm not sure I can really help, it's been ages since I used the IBM Boot Manager (back in OS/2 Warp's time). All I know is that I never managed to get 11.3 to install GRUB on the root partition. Although I choose this option, the installer allways installs GRUB in the MBR and ovewrites my previous GRUB. Now I don't know how that works with the Boot Manager (and I don't see why you can't boot 11.1, except if the install screwed the IBM Boot Manager). I also don't see the interrest to use the Boot Manager if you only boot Linux, GRUB seems to do the job, but that's only my point of view. I could suggest that you download the "Super GRUb Disk". Its a bootable GRUB CD that lets you boot an installed system, so you should be able to boot 11.1. From there you could reinstall GRUB in /, assuming the Boot Manager still works OK.
