I've just installed suse 10.2 as well and it had a similar issue with Mepis3.4 being left off the boot menu, but 2 installations of debian(sarge) and one of etch are fully noted and on the list
The odd thing is when i went to hda5, where Mepis lives, /etc/boot/menu.lst had disappeared. This created one or two small problems with copying the relevant lines over to suses menu.lst What i will probably have to do is look for the exact location of the kernel and alter a copy of one of suses lines so that it points at the Mepis kernel instead... I'll just go and try that while i'm in a curious mode... will report back later I think it's fair to assume that something in either grub or suses install fails to process the more obscure (?) debian based systems menu.lst entry's. although deleting the mepis one for me went down like a cup of cold stuff. :) On Tuesday 27 March 2007 11:25, Steve Holdoway wrote: I've got a multi-boot system onto which I've just added opensuse 10.2. Now, I may have missed an option, but... 1. It overwrote the existing ubuntu grub. 2. After reinstating the ubuntu grub and updating the menu.lst to include opensust, it gets halfway and fails. The approach of not installing a bootloader and updating the ubuntu one works fine for fc6, debian sarge and freebsd so far, so what's so special about opensuse?
