Dear Jerry Thanks for a very quick response, My system used to work fine till an hour back. I did a restart and it ended up with Grub> promp. I don't have rescue cd etc. and system boots from boot floppy. I did ftp install from ftp.suse.com.

When I power up the suse 8.1 system, It comes to Grub> prompt. It was working fine but all of a sudden it went wrong. Need your help. You needd to supply us with a bit more information. Did your SuSE 8.1 system used to work. Do you have a rescue disk. Can you run the boot CD-ROM (or DVD) and boot installed system?
It would be useful if you show us your /boot/grub/menu.lst -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 (See attached file: attsjy5m.dat)

I did ftp install from ftp.suse.com. Grub is well documented, but the best way to proceed since you have the boot disk, is to run Yast2/System/Bootloader Configuration. There you can modify the existing configuration, reload the original configuration, or manually set it up.
Also, was there something you might have changed, or did you rebuild your kernel. In any case, YaST should fix your problem. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
