Hi!
I’ve just installed openSUSE 11.3 but because I already have Ubuntu 10.04 on the same computer, I installed it without the bootloader. On Ubuntu I’ve done “update-grub” and then I’ve run openSUSE by the GRUB installed with Ubuntu but the system doesn’t start with the error:
modprobe FATAL could not load /lib/modules/2.6.34-12-default/modules.dep: No such file or directory
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks for help!
More input please, from ubuntu:
cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo /sbin/fdisk -l -u /dev/sda
sudo mount /dev/sd[NrSuse] /mnt
ls /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.34-12-default

Thanks.
I think you just have given openSUSE too little space, only 6 GiB!
When mounted via:
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
df -h
ls -ll /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.34-12-default
shows you needed info. Option -ll shows you if there are some bytes in modules.deb!
I do need more than 6 GiB for my openSUSE…
And I am unsure about your grub2 install:
You have installed ubuntu on your second disk, but installed grub2 into mbr of your first WinXp disk, is that possible? I don’t have much experience using grub2 with two harddisks…
Additional tip, in /boot/grub/grub.cfg of ubuntu also use UUID for openSUSE:
linux /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-12-default.gz root=UUID=e2d98…
Thank you for your help ulenrich!
Sorry but I haven’t understood what should I do with these commands:

I don’t know much about my grub2 install. Ubuntu installed it by default.
Ok! This works!!! Thanks thanks thanks! You are great;)
Now: how can I made this option permanent? It goes away every time I do update-grub2
e.g. if you use self set labels edit ubuntu /etc/grub.d/40_custom
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
#
#
menuentry "Desktop openSUSE 11.3 symlink" {
insmod ext2
search --no-floppy --label --set suse113
linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/disk/by-label/suse113 quiet
initrd /boot/initrd
}
add in ubuntu /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
GRUB_DEFAULT=“Desktop openSUSE 11.3 symlink”
