Having worked some on the grub configuration with Yast I must have changed something. On my hda1 I have drdos which I can not enter anymore. After choosing drdos in the grub menue I get above error.

###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: Drdos### title Drdos root ( hd0,0) root=/dev/hda1

Above line does not look right. You probably have to change it into:

root (hd0,0)

chainloader +1

Dear Leendert That line was one of the try outs after the drdos stopped working. Changed it back but same result. Had another good look at ( hd0,0) and discovered an empty space in front of the h of hd. Removed the empty space and everything is fine again. Remembers me of one of those beginner mistake that I made using the then usual CGA screen and not seeing the difference between a comma and a dot.
