I’ve got a dual boot system with Opensuse and Windows XP. I upgraded from 12.1. to 12.2 today and I can no longer boot into Opensuse. I get the following error when I try:
kernel (hd0,4)/grub2/core.img root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/3d11f16d-731d-46c5-b440-549ca3d0dc0 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/raid-sil_ajbhbiadfbae-part6 splash=slient quiet vga=0x345
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue...
Any help would be appreciated.
Odd by uuid and by-id
Is there a RAIDed drive involved here?
No I don’t have raid setup. I was curious myself why it mentioned raid.
Can you boot to a CD and give us
fdisk -l
note uppercase L not a one

That what you were looking for?
I would run the install again
Make sure of the HD order in your BIOS and then make sure of the order it’s seen in the installer and in the Grub summary at the summary screen.
I really don’t want to reinstall everything. Is there not another way to fix it?
Try SuperGrubDisk
See if it will boot SUSE
Then use Yast to re-install grub correctly

Online upgrade or offline upgrade? Or not an upgrade?
Because if it is an upgrade you still have a copy of the old grub file and can redo it.

It was an online upgrade. Can you instruct me on how to use the old grub file to redo it? I didn’t have any luck with SuperGrubDisk.
The old grub is legacy - which is different to 12.2’s grub2
Although it is possible to toggle the installer to legacy.
Personally I think you might find it easier to just try again or do a clean install (you can leave /home unformatted)

He is not supposed to get grub 2 with an online upgrade.
The previous config should be in the /boot/grub/menu* files.
If not, it will be in the backup he surely have.

I don’t see any reference in the original post of what grub version he is using, but error 15
is a typical version 1 error.
