Before I state my issue I would like to say I'm using opensuse not ubuntu. But I am using ubuntu live cd to try to fix my issue.
The Issue
Installed opensuse 11 on the 2nd harddrive of my laptop. Installation went well, booted into it, ran all updates, was prompted to reboot due to kernel update. I reboot - BAM I'm hit with a GRUB Error 17
After that, i boot into handy ole' Ubuntu 8.04 livecd and do:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd1,0)
grub> root (hd1,0)
root (hd1,0)
grub> setup (hd1,0)
setup (hd1,0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1,0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1,0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1,0) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst "... succeeded
Done.
setup succeeds, everything is okay, I reboot and still GRUB error 17
any ideas?
