Hello,
I installed OpenSuse 11.1 along my xubuntu 8.10, and I think I made a mistake because now I cannot boot on xubuntu anymore. I do enjoy Suse, but still need xubuntu !
I suppose it has something to do with new name of UUID ??
SOME IMPORTANT INFO :
- Partition :
/ of Suse is on sda1 (previously / of Debian)
/home of Suse is on sda6 5previously home of Debian)
/ of xubuntu is on sda7
sda5 and sda8 are swap - Fdisk
#fdisk -l

# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
