help -- won't boot after resizing partition

[MountainX]

I installed openSUSE 11.2 RC1 yesterday. (It was a fresh install; I erased the milestone 8 install I had done previously).

I installed to a 5 GB logical partition at (hd0,10) which is /dev/sda10. (BTW, that's grub2 numbering). There is a 300 MB boot partition at /dev/sda1 or (hd0,1) in grub2 numbering again.

After I got everything set up exactly the way I wanted it, I realized 5GB is way too small for openSUSE KDE, even though ALL data is on another partition.

Next step: booted to a live CD (with grub2) and used gparted to remove /dev/sda11 (another 5GB logical partiition), then resized the openSUSE partition (/dev/sda10) to 10GB. Fine.

Rebooted and no success. I can't remember the exact problem, but my previous openSUSE boot menu was gone. No problem - I wanted OS independent booting anyway.

Next step: again booted to a live CD (with grub2). Mounted the boot partition (/dev/sda1) as /mnt. Then used grub-install

grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda

Now, after rebooting I get:

sh:grub>

OK, good. So grub has control of the MBR.

Then I executed these commands:
ls / -- gives the expected output
cat /grub/grub.cfg -- lists my expected grub.cfg file, with my chainloader statements exactly like I put them.

menuentry "openSUSE 11.2 RC1 KDE4 64bit on sda10" {
  set root=(hd0,10)
  chainloader +1
  boot
}

I am not sure whey it isn't working.

So now, I decided to try booting manually:

linux (hd0,10)/boot/vmlinuz
initrd (hd0,10)/boot/initrd
boot

And now I'm booted into openSUSE just as I left it before expanding the partition.

But, I'm not sure how to fix this so it will boot next time.

Is the problem because grub cannot find grub.cfg?

Solved.

My boot partition had a directory called /grub under the root. I simply moved this to /boot/grub on the same partition, where the new /boot directory is empty except for containing the grub directory under it.

That fixed it!
