[opensuse] Failed zypper update

Got a bit of a prob... Was doing a zypper update, and along came a very "electric" thunderstorm, lost power, now all I can get is: error: file not found error: you need to load the kernel first press any key to continue... immediately after the grub screen. How do I get out of this...? Thanks, John opensuse 11.3 KDE 4.5(?) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

opensuse 11.3 KDE 4.5(?) Looks like some key packages (kernel?) are missng. Boot a LiveCD, chroot into the installed system, and run a "zypper ve" to try and get back what's needed.

Regards, Tejas Couldn't fix - I suspect it was more a configuration problem, than missing files. Did a fresh install - was about due anyway!!
