[Tfug] SUSE Grub problem

[Christopher Robbins]

Earl -

Have you tried rebuilding grub?  It looks liike something got fubar-ed in
the install.  Place CD1 in the drive and when you run through the grahpical
installer, you should see a debug/fix/repair option.  Do that and either

A.) Run automatic repair, which scans EVERYTHING, or

B.) Do an expert repair and select "grub/bootloader repair"

Hope this helps
