Vist/Suse11 EasyBCD issue

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I had Vista Ult. 32 installed. The dual booted to Suse 11. All was running well until I completely shut down computer and restarted it. Only Vista shows in Vista boot loader alone with SUSE installer.

I installed EASYBCD and IFS drive and was able to get into the 122 mb partition with ext2. I went into the GRUB folder and opened menu.lst

Once I coped that into the grub configure window it now only goes into the INSTALL setup, not into my SUSE build.

The menu.lst is as follows. Any hep with this would be appreciated.

All I can say is you must have run the OpenSuSE installer several times, and your OpenSuSE stanza is booting you into partition 7, while your swap partition is partition 6. You apparently have two copies of Windows, one in the first partition of disk 1, and the other in the first partition of disk 2. Without the complete fstab file for all partitions on both drives, I can’t say anything more. Do you know for sure where your OpenSuSE installation resides? Is it on the third partition of the second drive? If (and only if) that’s the case you should change the lines

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.18-0.2-pae root=/dev/mapper/pdc_cjbgficj_part7 devfs=mount,dall resume=/dev/mapper/pdc_cjbgficj_part6 splash=silent showopts vga=0x31A

into

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.18-0.2-pae root=/dev/mapper/pdc_cjbgficj_part3 devfs=mount,dall resume=/dev/mapper/pdc_cjbgficj_part6 splash=silent showopts vga=0x31A

and change

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.18-0.2-pae root=/dev/mapper/pdc_cjbgficj_part7 showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off noresume nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 edd=off x11failsafe vga=0x31A

into

.
Back up your current menu.lst first.
Good luck and post back your fstab
