And... you grub halts when loading suse, you get to the grub menu, no? There you can choose XP and it should not have the same problem - I hope.
No. I don't get to the grub menu. If I did I wouldn't be too worried (well :-) ) because I would be able to at least boot into Windows but I cannot because the grub menu does not come up.
All that happens is I get the Error #18 message as soon as grub kicks in on boot and all I see is the grub> prompt followed by the error #18 statement.
Then your problem is not the initrd file! It can't be, it is not read till after you choose to boot into linux. It's got to be a problem with grub own files, those in /boot/grub, or the copy near the mbr - I don't fully understand that part. Maybe you need to rerun grub-install or whatever.
Let me go over the situation, just to clear all the stuff which may be muddying the waters.
Ok :-)
Because all my HD are in removable cradles, I installed 10.2 RC1 on this same computer (my "main" one, the one I am now using to type this message with 10.1) using one of my other HDs. I have no problems with booting into 10.2 RC1 on this computer- grub doesn't come up with any error messages.
I don't know if that is relevant... something changes and it crashes :-? A change in LBA numbering :-? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
