backed-up (opps!). I am able to use the rescue feature on the Suse install disk.
Rescue login(no password): Rescue login: root
Check the partitions: Rescue: fdisk /dev/hda
Which are: /dev/hda1 (boot) /dev/hda2 (swap) /dev/hda3 (root)
Mount partitions: Rescue: mkdir /testboot Rescue: mkdir /testroot Rescue: mount /dev/hda1 /testboot Rescue: mount /dev/hda3 /testroot
umount /testboot cd /testroot chroot . mount /boot
mk_initrd
That should do it
