I do not normally switch off my desktop so when grub stopped working I don't exactly know. However, my system became unbearably slow so I decided to reboot only to find that it just hung.
BIOS?
UEFI?
Before reinstalling, did you do any wiping?
openSUSE only, or multiboot with Windows and/or another distro too, and if yes, which, and installed by whom, and when?
If might help us help you to provide content of /etc/grub.conf and /etc/default/grub and output from gdisk -l.
I was going to answer your questions but I found this script called boot info script at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/files/bootinfoscript/
This script does not understand modern grub2. Please use https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript/raw/master/bootinfoscript and upload full results to susepaste.org.
I ran the script and part of the info that it gave me I thought was quite significant so I'm posting that instead; with the question as to how can I fix this? For starters, I'll try another installation of grub2 but if anyone else has a better suggestion please jump in. Here's the extract
1 sda1:______________________________________________________________________ 2 3 File system: ext4 4 Boot sector type: Grub2 (v1.99) 5 Boot sector info: Grub2 (v1.99) is installed in the boot sector of sda1 6 and looks at sector 50634288 of the same hard drive 7 for core.img, but core.img can not be found at this 8 location. 9 Operating System: Welcome to openSUSE 13.2 10 "Harlequin" - Kernel (). 11 Boot files: /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /etc/fstab
According to line 7 (I inserted the line numbers) core.img cannot be found . So I guess I'll try another grub2 install.
