Further to this I boot off the DVD from the "Boot off hardrive" menu promt" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris" <triumph-tiger@shaw.ca> To: <opensuse@opensuse.org> Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 3:01 PM Subject: [opensuse] can't reboot computer

I shut down my puter to install new sound card. Did the reboot and now it won't come back up.

Get the error message BIOS EDD factility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 2 devices found "Loading reiserfs" Resume device /dev/sda1 not found (ignoring) Waiting for device /dev/sda2 to appear:................................not found -- exiting to /bin/sh

sda1 is the swap and sda2 would be the root partion.

I think it can't faind the device files as /dev/ dosn't show sda1, sda2, or sda3

If i boot into a rescue system they are there.

Grub loads and the bios can find the drives.

this is on 10.3 novell dvd source

thanks
