Use your SUSE 10 install disk to boot and select 'run installed system'. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

Suse10 install disk 1 has these options, 1. Boot from Harddisk 2. Installation- ACPI 3. Istallation- Safe settings 4. Rescue System 5. Memory Test I selected Rescue System and at Rescue login: root and #grub-install /dev/hda and it came backand gave me this error message; /dev/root: Not found or not a block device . Where do I go from here ? Thanks Jim

1. Boot from Harddisk ... should be your option ... that is what Patrick meant by "and select 'run installed system'" Peter

No, this would need a valid boot loader. Start with "2. Installation", then abort at the next chance and you will get an ncurses menu which allows to "boot installed system". Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

To reinstall your grub bootloader boot from the installation disk. Choose "Installation" from the boot menu. After YaST ist started choose your language and accept the license agreement. When you are asked for the installation mode (new installation or update) click on the "Other..."-Button. Choose "Repair installed System". Then I'd suggest "Customised Repair" -> "Check Boot Loader Configuration". The rest should be self explaining. After the repair is finished you can boot from your harddrive and grub will be working again.

As I also had to go this way once, and had to search for a long time. Who is responsible for the layout of the installation media menu layout? To hide the repair option in the "other"-part of the "installation"-path is about as braindead as stopping a system in the start-menu. Ciao Siegbert

There might be good reasons for why the system repair is only reachable this way.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=141213 It's a problem during Pegasos install as well, as it's difficult to find, how to boot an installed system (Pegasos needs a second boot from the install CD, as booting must be installed by hand). Bye, CzP
