Hi,
i did a default Installation with the Network install CD. The system came up and i configured a static IP. Tried to reboot and ended in a grub shell. No menu. I typed the root-kernel-initrd-boot messages and the system came up - but without network. Then i used yast to rewrite grub config and rebooted. All i get now is "HIT A KEY TO REBOOT". Seems that i don't have a bootloader any more.
Tried a repair with boot-cd and it repaired the bootloader twice without success. Does grub no more work with old hardware or is there a bug in yast?
Opensuse 10.3 did work with that hardware: Adaptec Mainboard with PIII 500MHz, 160GB Samsung HDD.
It seems that the installer left a old /boot partition from opensuse 10.3 but it is unused - or not?
Any hints?
Tried again: it seems that grub is installed on a too high cylinder. opensuse 11.1 (11.0 too?) does not warn or recommend a separate /boot partition. Default Install on old hardware fails always then. Comments? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
