Well, those SuSE people can be tough. Ok, let's assume your Fedora partition is on /dev/hdb1, 1st partition, second hard drive. I have a page on grub at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/grub.html which goes into this in more detail, but anyway.... First let's see what's in the Fedora /boot partition. Boot into SuSE--oh, you have to anyway. :) mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt (Actually, I usually just make a directory somewhere--you have to be root or have root privilege to do this, by the way. So, rather than using /mnt you could do ) mkdir fedora mount /dev/hdb1 fedora ls fedora/boot You'll see various things, what you want is to see if they have a file called vmlinuz or if they only have a file something like vmlinuz-2.6.incredibly_long_number. Let's say they only have the vmlinuz-blah-blah thing in there. cd fedora/boot ln -s vmlinuz (now hit the tab, let bash work for ya and it should show the long number and say something like vmlinuz-2.6.9.7.9.etc.etc vmlinuz cd umount fedora Now, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (or grub.conf, whichever SuSE calls it) Remove what you had for Fedora and use title Fedora root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hdb1 Then save it. You should be good. Note that the confusing point are the two definitions and numbering systems for the entry. The first one hd1,0 is how grub numbers partitions, with 0 being first, 1 2nd, etc. The hdb1 is the more standard Linux way of numbering partitions, such as would be used in fdisk and cfdisk. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: Calm may work for Locutus of the Borg here, but I'm freaked out, and I intend to stay that way. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBsp2W+lTVdes0Z9YRAumgAJ4p+XkOM9uk4FwfB4DMAuJH1adBmwCdFwn8 fx2nI6ryzCLMn6QFbexmxYg= =9n+a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------ Yahoo!
