Description Joachim Werner 2006-11-15 12:16:50 UTC

I installed Beta 2+ on two completely different machines, using a custom partition setup.

In both cases I did cosmetic changes (adding "B2+" to the name, removing the Failsafe entry) to the grub configuration before installation.

I was able to reproduce the following error in both cases:

The SWAMP partition, NOT the actual root partition is written as the root partition.

I'll attach both the wrong menu.lst and the manually fixed one in a minute.

I guess the SWAMP partition is where all the data gets stuck ;-)

Anyway, config probs-> Olaf/Jack

menu.lst as written by the YaST module

As you can see, for the openSUSE entry both "root" and "resume" are "/dev/sda5", which is plain wrong.

Changing the root entry to "/dve/sda7" solves the problem in my specific case.

old stuff, fixed since half an hour :-)
