Fortunately, the menu.lst is a plain text file, but YaST can rebuild that for you as well as rebuild the MBR.
One good test is to boot the installation CD, and boot the installed system. -- Jerry Feldman
------------- Good point that wasn't mentioned Jerry. Booting from the DVD or CD1 at the Grub screen, the boot from hard disk doesn't work either. Still she gets a Stage 2 stoppage. It's only if she goes through the Installation selection and far enough along to choose "Other" button, will the system boot. Makes you think it's a kernel error on the hard drive, but it's been replaced and checked also. All files have been examined, logs checked, without giving one clue as to the problem. It's a really odd problem and mystery. regards, Lee
