Hi Charles,
I've studied all that you posted and here's my suggestion:
1. Boot to SUSE 10.2 with the DVD so you can work on the system while in
a 'normal' environment.
2. Copy the following to create a text file called "newfstab" on your desktop
(in directory /home/you*/Desktop/ *use your real user directory name)
**note1: be sure no lines are wrapped and to leave no blank lines in the body
of the table when you're done.
***note2: do leave the empty line at the bottom

3. Next, copy the following to create a text file called "newmenu.lst" on your
desktop (in directory /home/you*/Desktop/ *use your real user directory

4. In a shell:
a. 'su' to superuser
b. 'cd /etc'
c. 'mv fstab fstab-orig'
d. 'cp /home/you*/Desktop/newfstab fstab'
(*use your real user directory name)
e. 'cd /boot/grub'
f. 'mv menu.lst menu-lst.old'
g. 'cp /home/you*/Desktop/newmenu.lst menu.lst'
h. exit from superuser
i. exit from shell
j. try booting normally and get back to the list with the results
It'd be really nice if others here on the list would proofread this and/or
offer parallel suggestions. I know this is probably what *I'd* do next if the
system was sitting in front of me.
regards,
Carl
