Problems Installing to netbook

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hi. I have an Asus eee pc 1001px and I decided to install openSUSE on it. So I downloaded the live gnome 64-bit cd (11.4) and put it on a USB drive. I then revolted and installed openSUSE to my HDD Which went fine. But then when I rebooted I received the message “error loading operating system”.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hi
So you removed windows during the install?

Can you boot from the USB Live device and open a terminal and post the
output from;


fdisk -l
cat /etc/fstab

If windows was on the system and was wiped, it may have not installed
the bootloader properly.
