I have just upgraded a PC for a colleague, who, after much badgering and
encouragement, conceded to have a dual boot install of OpenSUSE 10.3

partition on hd1 using 50% of the disk capacity, leaving remainder
unallocated for Linux partitions. Booted to the 10.3 installation DVD and the
install to hd1, including on-line updates, went perfectly, until the first
reboot, where I get:
GRUB Loading stage1.5
Grub loading, please wait...
Error 21
At which point everything grinds to a standstill.
21 : Selected disk does not exist
This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full
file name refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or
not recognized by the BIOS in the system.
Sadly, grub errors are difficult to track and solve. No hand holding, no
verbose logs...
An idea: does your bios allows booting from the second hard disk? If it
does, it might solve the situation. Just mark a partition as bootable in
the second disk and install grub on that one. In this way, grub will not
be attempting to install in one disk and boot another disk, which appears
to be a situation it doesn't like.
