yep, John, good... we need to see what the contents of /dev/hda3 are, though. do a mount test on /dev/hda3, and tell us what happens. Also note Carl Hartung's last post, in which he proposed two models for your reconstructed fstab file.
Okay, hda3 has grub, vmlinuz (also 'linked' grub and vmlinuz files) and a few other files...all look like something to do with /boot.
Okay then, since it all looks correct with Carl's fstab, should I just replace his with what I have now and try to reboot?
Yes, John, I would say give it a go with the first fstab in Carl's email. (the one with /boot mounted on /dev/hda3)
Okay, replacing the old fstab with Carl's fstab did the trick, though when I rebooted it stuck at the screen 'GRUB (something)1.5'. I then rebooted with the SuSE DVD and did a repair on GRUB and all seems to be well in the world once again, since I am now back in my 'user' instead of in 'root'. I really am grateful to Praxis and Carl and James and the others who got me through this mess I created. If any of ya are ever in W. TN (exit 116 or 108 on I-40 is best, heh), I owe ya a beer or 12! Thank you all, this is *still* the best darned list there is!
