The other thing is a mistake i made: i never use lvm. This time i thought ok, lets try it. Lvm is not supported yet in Knoppix, so the partitions could not get mounted, only windows and /boot were visible.
Instead of kroppix, you can use either the KDE-live-cd, or the install-12.2-DVD and choose "live-KDE". LVM and soft raid are recognized there... And do the repair work hence on. That is an opportunity, but it is the question if it would boot at all. Install the bootloader and mkinitrd might be done if the system is mounted... I think new install will be better. Maybe keep /home, and lvm for now, or use kde to transfer /home to an external hdd, and get rid of lvm.
Re-install is something you can always do. But i meant: boot from SuSE live-media, do a mount the original /root and /boot, do a chroot and re-install grub. That would be possible, if / or /home would be recognized, but it was not. Only /boot was, and of course windows like: fat32 and ntfs. Felix helped me with the remnants of grub2, so i was able to boot into int 5. Than i used yast to install a new grub legacy. Yast was not used to see /boot having an ext4fs, (proposal of lvm) because that is always ext2, and assumed ext2. So now the loader does not work how it has to. I can boot, but not clean.
I try to find out where the information of the 'assumed' information is stored, so i can change it. But still the 'charm' of lvm, hangs as a dark veil over the install, and there are more things not right. If i just install new, i can avoid some issues to turn up, and, if a rescue is needed, it can be performed more easily when the partitions are recognized, i think. -- Have a nice day, Oddball.
