[opensuse] OpenSuse 10.3: Unable to boot anymore
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/14d5f9c09cf30f68ea34c5a47aec1aa9.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hello, This morning my desktop pc running in dualboot XP/OpenSuse 10.3 refused to boot up under openSuse. The boot goes as far as: ... /dev/sda10 on /home type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) NTFS driver 2.1.28 [flags: R/W module] NTFS Volume version 3.1 after this nothing happens anymore unless I hit the [prt scr] buttom. If I hit that buttom the bootprocess goes further but stops at random points. At that point the only thing I can do is switch of the pc. I can boot up XP without problem. Is there a way to force the system to boot or to repair it?

On 10.3 the DVD repair option is broken; have you tried the failsafe option at boot up time? Martin Byttebier wrote:

I did try the repair option and indeed is badly broken. Too bad :-( Yes I did try to boot with the failsafe option but alas it fails at the same point.
