Tip - what if it doesn't boot after upgrade/install

English Install/Boot/Login

My boot loader fails to boot after a new version upgrade/install. It always happened for the past 3-4 versions. Maybe because i have a few HDDs with Linux, Windows, other stuff? Who knows. But the following always worked for me:

  1. When the boot loader fails with something like “failed to boot from /dev/sda2”, it gives you an option to go into GRUB command shell, press ‘c’
  2. Then load the kernel, initrd and boot:
    #>kernel /boot/vmlinuz
    #>initrd /boot/initrd
    #>boot
  3. Now it should boot normally, get into KDE and all. From there you can always go into YAST and change the Boot Loader

Hope it helps.
