OK Gentlemen,
Stick with me .....Please???
I checked Yast - Bootloader and 10.0 was there. But there was practically
nothing describing/pertaining to it. No /dev/root - no nothing. So I edited
the file extensively and saved it.
Rebooted, and 10.0 showed up in the boot menu. Some success I guess. But now
it fails with an Error 15 File not found. Grrrr......Did some Googling on
the grub error 15 but didn't find anything that I thought would pertain to
this.
Here is the present version of my menu.1st:

It does wrap in this outgoing e-mail at "resume" for 10.0.It is all one line
in my Menu.1st. I also attached a text file.
Thanks for your patience
