A colleague who is trying to install suse 9 on his system has hit a curious problem. On the first reboot at the end of the main part of the install, instead of carrying on and finishing those configuration parts of the install that need the main system running, upon reboot the system hangs with a "grub>" prompt. I have looked at his / partition and can see nothing obviously wrong, it has a proper "/boot/grub/menu.1st" file etc, but it occurs to me that on this first boot things happen differently to normal in that (ISTR) it drops straight into configuring the system (network, printers, users, etc) so it would appear that grub is not getting the correct script to boot into this mode, nor is it using the menu.1st. Can anyone provide any pointers as to what might be going wrong here? -- Tim Nicholson http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
