Re: [opensuse] boot problem
Sure looks to me that grub is installed correctly. Your BIOS is set to also boot from HD isn't it?
I also booted a windows floppy and tried fdisk /mbr and the reinstalled grub again without sucess. Any help with this issue would be appreciated.
So booting from a floppy also works. And booting from the install DVD works to boot from the HD, so I believe your HD MBR is also correct. Looks to me like a BIOS boot selection problem. Since floppy, cd, and HD via DVD all work, looks like your BIOS is either not setup to boot from HD, or its settings cannot read it correctly, i.e. maybe try changing LBS for Large or something like that.
I can boot to a floppy yes, but I have not tried to boot to suse from the floppy. I have changed the bios to only use the hard drive and it still will not boot to the hard drive without the dvd booting first and then selecting the option "boot from hard disk" I even wiped and re-installed and the same issue is still there. This was a working 9.3 system until this upgrade. I may try re-installing 9.3 and if the issue is still there, it would probably mean bios/hardware issue. Also, Don Raboud/GT Smith, it is a single drive system.

You could use the 9.3 grub on a small 9.3 partition (6 Gib?) to boot 10.3 - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
