I know a little more now about the booting sequence of the partially upgraded 10.2 > 10.3. GRUB seems still OK to be, it points to a stage-2 loader which is at sector 0x1973e28 (which is inside /dev/sda6 somewhere). (GRUB, I should add occupies its own small (7MB) EXT2 partition, sda7. The reason it is there rather one of the conventional locations is that openSuSE itself is on an XFS file system. XFS has its own peculiarities, and this is a workaround.) GRUB can also read that sector, and the ones directly after it, and they contain valid GRUB datastructures as shown by the level of detail displayed by DFSee (see below). ++++++++++ GRUB stageX @PSN : 0x01973e28 Located on : /dev/hda6 StageX segm:addr : 0800:8000 Forcing LBA : No Stage1 install by : 3.2 Boot Disk # : 0xff = disknr : 1 StageX install by : 3.2 LoadSegment : 0x0820 = stage 2 code GRUB code version : 0.97 Code size : 100.5 KiB GRUB Config file : /boot/grub/menu.lst ++++++++++ So, all is apparently as it should be, and I can't tell why it does not boot ... Perhaps some change (kernel name/revision ?) is needed in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
