I plan on using EasyBCD and NeoGRUB to multiboot my windows vista PC. The drive layout on my Dell computer came from the factory with a really funky drive lettering scheme. Vista hard drive is drive C: , then second hard drive is D: but then my two CDROM drives get in the mix as E: and F: and finnaly the OpenSUSE drive, G:
I reinstalled openSUSE 11 last night to my computer on (openSUSE install showed it as sdc) with three partitions, Swap, Root, and Home. I checked to installGRUB to boot and I unchecked MBR to sda to save Vista.
All went well and the installtion completed. Now I can’t get back into OpenSUSE.
Launched OpenSUSE install and ran rescue to fire up OpenSUSE and did the following.
- logged in and ran GRUB
- find /boot/grub/stage1 = shows (hd2,1), like expected
- find /boot/grub/stage2 = shows (hd2,1), good
- find /boot/message = all good
- root (hd2,1) = OK
- kernel /boot/vmlinuz = OK
- initrd /boot/initrd - and WHAM I get Error 16: inconsistant file system
root says filesystem is ext2fs
