Hi everybody, I have little experience with boot loaders, so I think this question might be elementary. I have 2 partitions, one with Suse 10.0 and one with 10.1. 10.1 was installed last, and I was using it's version of Grub (which detected 10.0, and added it to the boot list). This was all good, until I did an online update of 10.0. This caused 10.0 to write it's own version of Grub to the MBR (if this is how it works). My enthusiasm was not dampened by this, I just decided to add 10.1 to Grub's menu.lst of 10.0. However, Grub is smarter than me, and on reboot simply removes the entry to 10.1. What to do now.

I would like to either: 1) Add 10.1 to the boot list of 10.0's Grub, AND have it remain there after reboot, or 2) Re-install 10.1's Grub to the MBR.

Also I would like to know how I could avoid this problem with future updates.

Currently I am unable to boot 10.1

Apologies if my techno lingo is not quite correct, I only have a passing knowledge of how these things work.

Thanks Marius ===========

Marius, You can do one of two things. First, boot the computer from the CD1/DVD of 10.1 to use to rewrite the mbr and restore the 10.1 Grub setup. Second, edit the file, /boot/grub/menu.lst to add your 10.1 to the present Grub menu. Those are the two I would work with, but others may know of more. regards, Lee -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
