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'm not sure if memory serves me well. But If I remember an old discussion I once had with on an *buntu mailing list with a grub2 proponent, one of the disadvantages of grub legacy was that it couldn't use an ext4 boot partition... My solution was not to use ext4. Since then I heard something about an patch for grub legacy that added an ext4 stage1.5 to it. So hopefully, since you just installed a "new" grub legacy, you now have an ext4 capable version??? But if your stuck with the unpatched version you might want to checkout http://tinylink.in/YQL and think about recreating your grub partition as ext2 or ext3. If your using live-media, you should be able to back up the /boot partition files to your /root partition, recreate /boot with mkfs, restore the files to new ext2 or ext3 fs... -- JtWdyP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
