Hi Everybody,

I have this suse 10.2 machine as the master distro installed, sitting on a hda partition, along with a couple of more distros on the same drive, I have another sdb drive (SATA) with a few more partitions, I have chainloaded from the 10.2 booter a couple of distros, one of them fedora and the other 10.3, Fedora would boot up if selected, but 10.3 will not, both have rootnoverify as an option, and I have both installed with their own grub booting from within their own root partition, so I am not sure why 10.3 is not working, if I put the DVD and select to boot the 10.3 install it works.

Any ideas, I have seen lots of issues with SATA, but nothing as the way I am doing it

Thanks in advance for your help

Jose

Hi the device map is as follow: Suse102:~ # cat /boot/grub/device.map (hd2) /dev/hde (hd1) /dev/sda (hd0) /dev/hda I think there is something weird going on with my posting, since yesterday I can't post to the list, but I am able to retrieve emails from the server, I am not sure why you would have got 4 copies, sorry about that, was not intended, at least from my side, I have sent a message to the list owner, I would see if they can correct whatever is wrong with my account thanks Jose G T Smith wrote:

Then people can read your menu.lst, and check whether the ordering issue above is relevant...

BTW Is there any reason why I got 4 copies of this...

Hi I end up using this grub software that suse recommends from their screwup having the repair option from their CD broken, and that fixed my problem, I still have some problem with the ubuntu instance, but that's another story. Thanks Gabriel! Jose G T Smith wrote:

I think what we have here is a mismatch between how grub is reading the partition order and the partition order in the partition table, you might have better luck trying (hd0,2) rather than (hd0,3)...

You could verify this by going to the grub command line and entering.

find /boot/vmlinuz

which will give you a list of partitions holding the kernel ... if (hd0,2) is there that is the problem...
