Hi listmates, Since I installed some milestones I can no longer boot the partition I want. I wanted to the view the progression in OpenSuse and I had a free partition so lets have a look. My separate boot-partition is part2 the free partition was partition 3. I installed on part3 milestone 6 with its own boot directory in the rootdir. Now my system boots always from part 3 and I can't change that. So I start reading http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/grub I discovered that I have a generic MBR The doc above tells me: any generic MBR will load a stage1 from the first block of a primary partition marked as "active" or "bootable", as long as there is exactly one such primary partition. Parted shows me: Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 26.8GB 26.8GB primary ntfs , , , , , , , , , type=07, , 2 26.8GB 27.1GB 206MB primary ext3 boot, , , , , , , , , type=83, , 3 27.1GB 53.9GB 26.8GB primary ext3 , , , , , , , , , type=83, , That partition 2 has the bootflag. Thats nice and correct, next step is menu.lst on part2. ##YaST - generic_mbr gfxmenu (hd0,1)/boot/message ##YaST - activate This tells me the gfxmenu comes from hd0,1 thats also correct. But then things go wrong, I get the menu of part3 hd0,2. Questions: 1 how is this possible ? 2 How can I set the boot back to partition 2 All idea's are welcome, hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
