but ... did you re-install openSUSE's grub loader or not? >From your above description it is _not_ clear whether you are using Ubuntu's grub or openSUSE's grub. Also beware, if you are UUID for partitions in menu.lst they are not unique across distributions. Switching to root=/dev/sdaX where X is a number should fix the problem. Likewise, make the changes in /etc/fstab as well. > I made the corresponding changes in > /boot/grub/menu.lst file. However, To which distro does the above belong? Ubuntu or openSUSE. Show us the list of your disk partitions. Use anyone of the LiveCDs and as root run "fdisk -l" capture the output to a file and identify what is installed in each of the disk partitions. > when I choose the option for > either the OpenSuSe 11.0 OS or its failsafe, the screen turns black > with a cursor blinking at the upper left hand corner. What is wrong? With above info from your part we can move further in figuring out your problem. -- Arun Khan
