[opensuse] OpenSuse 10.3: Unable to boot anymore
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?
TIA,
Martin

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.
TTFN,
