That could be one of two things. The DVD has a 'boot from hard disk' option that seems to get around problems I've had with the BIOS ---> Grub functioning. The other is that you can boot in maintenance mode, mount the hard drive, Chroot to the mount and log in there. I've used this to repair (including fsck on ROOT) the /boot, grub and files in /etc on the hard drive quite a number of times using a variety of file systems under a variety of versions of Suse and Linux. It has nothing what so ever to do with systed vs sysvinit, with BrtFs vs ext4, or with IDE vs SATA. It is one area where the meaningful nameing of devices (/dev/disk/by-*) has provem more useful than the anonymous and unhelpful /dev/sd*. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
