Description Jörg Rüppel 2005-08-22 09:20:48 UTC

I installed from a SMB share, went good until it rebooted. But the menu.lst was
all wrong with harddisk numbers: I installed to /dev/hda10 so the root should be
(hd0,9) but it was set to (hd1,9) which rendered the system unbootable. This not
only applies to the 'root' command but also to the splashscreen and everything
else where the (hdx,y) syntax is used.

Please provide YaST2 logs.  If you can't boot the system by editing
the boot parameters during boot you have to use the rescue CD.

Jiri, please, check whether you could do anything without logs. Close the bug if
you can't. Thanks.

I guess you have two disks, most probably mixed ATA + SATA, ATA + SCSI or 
something like this. In these cases, the DISK order is often incorrectly 
reported by BIOS if it is booted from CD-ROM. Therefore we can't do anything 
about it. 
 
You can change the disks order in bootloader configuration manually.
