Still didn't work. I also tried changing it to
/dev/disk/ by-id/scsi- SATA_ST3808110AS _5LR0BC27- part6but it still didn't
work.
Ok, so after all this didn't work, I thought reinstall OpenSuSe and let it
install it's bootloader. Only problem is that that bootloader won't load, i.e.
it's saying bootloader loading... So, next step, reinstall ubuntu 8.04 for it's
bootloader. That bootloader works fine, but still OpenSuSe isn't loading (blank
screen with cursor blinking at top left corner). If it helps, previously I had
OpenSuSe installed on my system and it was booting fine (along with the grub).
After I installed ubuntu, I started experiencing this problem.
