I assume you've verified all the necessary files are present. There is one other file, /etc/grub.conf, that puzzled me until I searched the Yast.bootloader doc files. It seems to be a command file that yast passes to the grub shell. You might wish to check the contents of that to see if they are correct, or just move it out of the way and try again using Yast. If nothing does seem to work, you can always replace the MBR with a default boot record, then one of the following: a) try again to re-install grub, or b) mark the /boot partition as active, and install grub into the boot record of that partition. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
