Hi I end up using this grub software that suse recommends from their screwup having the repair option from their CD broken, and that fixed my problem, I still have some problem with the ubuntu instance, but that's another story. Thanks Gabriel! Jose G T Smith wrote:

Hi
the device map is as follow:
Suse102:~ # cat /boot/grub/device.map (hd2) /dev/hde (hd1) /dev/sda (hd0) /dev/hda
I think there is something weird going on with my posting, since yesterday I can't post to the list, but I am able to retrieve emails from the server, I am not sure why you would have got 4 copies, sorry about that, was not intended, at least from my side, I have sent a message to the list owner, I would see if they can correct whatever is wrong with my account
thanks
Jose

Here is the menu.lst and fdisk -all:

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Hmmm Interesting ...
What was requested was the contents of...
/boot/grub/device.map
Then people can read your menu.lst, and check whether the ordering issue above is relevant...
BTW Is there any reason why I got 4 copies of this...

I think what we have here is a mismatch between how grub is reading the partition order and the partition order in the partition table, you might have better luck trying (hd0,2) rather than (hd0,3)...
You could verify this by going to the grub command line and entering.
find /boot/vmlinuz
which will give you a list of partitions holding the kernel ... if (hd0,2) is there that is the problem...
