Felix,
You are my new hero! That was the problem, the XFS I was using. Once I
got the newest release built and installed, everything worked as it
should. Yaaay! I can't thank you enough for your help. It's really a
very simple and painless process, if all things are correct.
Nice.
Now I just need to add some other entries to use, plus I would like to
make the loader screen a bit prettier. If I just want to boot to
runlevel 3, can I use the standard boot entry that takes me to the gui
and just add "append=3" as the last entry?
No append=3 is LILO syntax not GRUB.
You do it like this:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 3
By the way you can use grub-mkconfig to generate a grub.cfg for you.
=========
Yes, I saw that grub-mkconfig replaced update-grub for that. A question
about that though. When I ran grub-mkconfig /dev/sda, I looked for the
file in /boot/grub directory, but none was there. What I did get was
the complete file shown in the shell I was using. I just copied that
into a new grub.cfg then copied it over to /boot/grub. Is that normal
behavior or did I do something wrong or did it put the file somewhere else?
I knew that Suse uses an image for their grub loader screen, but never
investigated that aspect when i was using it. I'll play with that a bit
as I would like to do something prettier. Right now, I'm very pleased
to have gotten it working on the computer!
Pat
