Dear friends,
I had posted a doubt earlier has to how to use GRUB of OpenSUSE to load Ubuntu 9.10...Unfortunately, i did not get a reply and so I have re -installed Karmic which detects the already installed SUSE 11.2...It is in (hd0,5) or sda 6...On selecting this , i get Kernel Panic error (not syncing).
Output of fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders

/dev/sda7 11459 13586 17093097 83 Linux
I have 3 windows partition and SUSE on sda 6 on grub it is (hd0,5). I think with reference to this there is a wrong entry wrt pointing the kernel and initrd location in the grub.cfg file.
The kernel and init files are in sda6 in /boot/grub/
Output of cfg....What could be wrong...i can see that the first line mentions file system wrongly as "insmod ext2" when SUSE 11.2 in fact uses ext4.Could this be the problem?
The file names are correct....
