Hi! I’m a newly resgistered member.
I’m already a little familiar with GNU/Linux (I began with Mandriva Spring 2007 ;)), but I need your help since I cannot boot OpenSuse. :\
I installed it about a week ago and it worked alright. But I couldn’t link the Ubuntu grub since OpenSuse cannot support the ext4 file system. So I decided to restore the Ubuntu grub on the MBR, and I linked the grub menu from the OpenSuse partition to it with the help of those lines:
title OpenSuse 11.1
root (hd0,6)
configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
I then got an error 15, so I had to change the number in (hdx,y) from 7 to 6:
###Don’t change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux###

root (hd0,6)

initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.29-0.1-default
Then when I saw the OpenSuse splashcreen I thought the troubles were over. But I got this message :

I suspect I should change these lines :
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.29-0.1-default root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6E030L0_E12FB8YE-part8 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6E030L0_E12FB8YE-part5 splash=silent showopts vga=0x31a
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.29-0.1-default
But I do not know how I should precisely write it. Could you help me please?
Here are my grub menus :
from Ubuntu:
## indomU=false
# indomU=detect
## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
## memtest86=false
# memtest86=true
## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false
## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
## can be true or false
# savedefault=false
## ## End Default Options ##

Oh! I’d like to add that I’m French, so that would account for any mistakes I did.
See u
Edit: I’ve forgotten to tell I did one additionnal change in the grub menu made by OpenSuse:
Some lines were added for NTFS partitions (used only for datas on a second disk), and I deemed them to be completely useless since they offered to boot Windows (and it is not installed).
