Trying to install suse on my asus G75 laptop.
Partition sda into 3 parts
Sda1 as /
Sda2 as swap
Sda3 as /home
Grub is set to boot from sda1.and i have also tried mbr but nothing works.
Tje installation itself works just fine but when i reboot the computer cant find any os to boot from.
And the live cd im installing from cant boot the os from my hdd. Just saying "booting operating system"and nothing happens.
What to do?
Please post output of “fdisk -l”.
How?
I cant boot into any.operating system?
Boot from installation DVD, it should offer repair or rescue mode (do not remember how it is called exactly). Or from any other live DVD/USB.
Suggest boot with openSUSE live CD/DVD
Then in terminal
cmd: su - (log in as root)
cmd: yast2
select: - Boot Loader
Set: Boot from Master Boot Record
– Boot Loader Options
Set: Set active Flag in Partition Table for Boot Partition
Set: Write generic Boot Code to MBR
Confirm with OK, OK and reboot.
This
is mutually exclusive with this
Set: Set active Flag in Partition Table for Boot Partition
Set: Write generic Boot Code to MBR
And you do not even know whether this system is using MBR.
This time.i have not installed anything to mbr ( i think ) a bit new to this.
Can i get the fstab output thru a live session running opensuse live?
Downloading the full dvd as we speak.
This did not work 
Hi !
But aren’t you able to boot from that live CD directly (i.e. not from the hard disk) ?
Then you should be able to open a terminal after booting from the live CD, enter
fdisk -l
there, and post the output.
Problems with that?
Further it may help if you could tell a bit more about your system, e.g. the hardware you use.
And did you check the checksum of the iso-image of your live CD before you burned it
and booted from it?
Good luck
sorry no-go with suggestion
assumed you have
possible problem: GRUB2 cannot handle default screen resolution,
1600×900, 1920×1080? but is ok with 1152x864
a successful install was achieved on a similar laptop with,
I would expect you can simply start browser when running from Live CD and go to this forum and paste output. Or save result of command execution to USB stick.
On this laptop the only way a successful boot was achieved was by giving GRUB2
contradictory inputs.
On the first successful boot -yast --Boot Loader and —Boot Loader Options
showed every check-box set and Custom Boot Partition set to the /dev/sda3
(/root partition).
Logically the only check-box that should be set is Custom Boot Partition,
with entry /dev/sda.
With the partitioning, mbr is the only possibility.
A smal update
I gave up on Suse and tried linux mint instead and that worked right away without any hassle.
A bit sad, i rly wanted to use openSuse.
Good you got a working situation. Rereading the thread IMHO you gave up far too soon, but that’s like said IMHO.
Maby i did, but when you know that you do the right thing in the setup and even tries all the combinations there is in the installer and you still get no boot what so ever out of the system you get a bit tierd.
I picked Suse just becouse it used to have an easy installer but i gues that was 5 years ago when i treid it.
FYI, as of RC2, able to install, due to the UEFI fixes. Also full release works easily on Asus G75.
