Hi! I've got a problem booting into OpenSuse, installed on my second HD.
I installed OpenSuse 11 WITHOUT GRUB, thinking I'd use Neogrub to do the work.
The config file looks like:
# NeoSmart NeoGrub Bootloader Configuration File
#
# This is the NeoGrub configuration file, and should be located at C:\NST\menu.lst
# Please see the EasyBCD Documentation for information on how to create/modify entries:
# http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD
title SUSE
find --set-root /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.5-1.1-default
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.5-1.1-default ro root=/dev/sdb2
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.25.5-1.1-default
# All your boot are belong to NeoSmart!
The file names are from mounting the Linux-partitions in Vista using Ext2FSD program (note no .img ending on initrd...?)
OpenSUSE installed fine, and managed a reboot after install (how I wonder...?). Everything went smooth so far.
Then when running the SUSE boot option according to above, I get "Error 17 file not found" Using the "debug" option in Grub4DOS and repeating the commands above line per line I see:
"Warning: MBR Cylinders (30402) is not equal to the BIOS one (16383).
Warning: MBR total sectors (488408130) is greater than the BIOS one (488.97168).
Some buggy BIOSes could hang when you access sectors exceeding the BIOS limit
ERROR 17: File not found"
which is identical to and from : "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=452325"
In that forum they recommend using an updated version of "grldr", but this file is replaced by "Neogrub" now - or?
I am at loss, how do I proceed. I'm using Vista Home 32 bit Premium, and a HP Pavillion DV9880, and would very much like the 64-bit SUSE to get up and running
Cheers, Radar
