Swap is wrong, not part6.
Plus, you should chainload and install grub on 7.

Great, Thanks! I will try that first thing in the morning. George
George, if Carlos solution doesn't work . . . That error message indicates a problem with a file or directory name, or a symbolic link. Since your syntax is using device-label, that requires that when you rsynced sda7, that the partition cross-references properly carried over. And a syntax error could also be the issue. You can trouble-shoot the issue by escaping out of the grub menu into the grub shell, and doing: rootnoverify (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 initrd /boot/initrd boot Also, just a note of clarification. You cannot chainload to sda7 if grub if not already installed in that partition's boot sector. And the syntax above instructs sda6's grub stage2 to utilize the sda7 menu.lst file; strictly speaking, that is not chainloading. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
