Hello,
I've updated a system of mine at work from 10.3 to 11.0, i386. Spanish language.
All gone well till the boot loader instalation. It said it could not install it. I've also observed it didn't created any entry for my pre-existing windows XP partition.
So when I tried to reboot it didn't work. I've tried repair system and some other tricks but nothing worked. :(
Finally the only way to boot was to set manually the boot options in the starting window. I changed the 'vmlinuz-xxxxxx' and 'initrd-xxxxxx' by just 'vmlinuz' and 'initrd' . Here xxxxxx was the old kernel I had installed with old 10.3.
Fortunately it worked, but I would like to know if I am the only person with these problems. I've installed a lot of SuSE OS in a lot of systems and this is the first time I had serious problems to boot after update.
I installed 11.0 on a box that has several distros on it. The install went fine, but on the first boot after the install, the machine was stuck at the bios screen, after choosing to boot suse 11. Very odd. I booted with the dvd and did a rescue, repairing the grub install, and afterwards it booted OK. I chalked it up to a fluke with my hardware, but after reading your account, maybe there is more to it.
