Re: [opensuse] I give up!
In that case you could probaly just ignore my posts? If you have been
paying attention all along, maybe, just MAYBE you would have caught or
read that I in fact DID do research on the matter. I'm sorry that I'm
not up to YOUR standards. I believe I will go flog myself because of
that!

I added you to the CC as I was not sure if you are still on the list.
There are a couple things to look at.
The /boot/grub/device.map is also needed. For example on one system it
is ...
suse:~ # cat /boot/grub/device.map
(hd0) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/hdb
(hd2) /dev/hdc
(hd3) /dev/sda
(fd0) /dev/fd0
and on an other system it is...
susedev:~ # cat /boot/grub/device.map
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
(hd2) /dev/sdc
(hd3) /dev/hda
(hd4) /dev/hdb
(hd5) /dev/hdc
(fd0) /dev/fd0
These are important as you have to have the right hdx for what you want. I
have my /boot/grub/menu.lst so I can boot from any of the hd with the one
I want to use. So to understand what I have I am going to use the first
system as a reference. On the first fdisk -l gives me ...

Excellent summary of the essentials, Boyd. Charles needs to read your message carefully and compare it with his system, including /etc/fstab (to get the proper mount points). (Yoohoo, Charles, you there? :-) ) Perhaps now we can get Charles back on the proper track.
