If it's that you could try installing Lilo instead of Grub.
Ha-ha, very droll! Does anybody still use lilo? Certainly I wouldn't touch it again with a ten foot pole. You may laugh, but i lost 10 hours last month because Grub numbers the drives differently then the Asus Bios. Lilo then worked upon first try.

Yes, I agree that aspect of grub is difficult to learn and it's really stupid that sometimes the numbers *change* if you play with bios settings. But those are problems that pale in comparison with the need to reinstall lilo every time something changes, IMHO. The grief that causes when you do things in the wrong order is much worse, IME. But thanks for the suggestion. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
