I have a multi boot box with grub2 installed on the mbr of /dev/sdc. Ubuntu and suse are on /dev/sdc. Win XP is installed on /dev/sdd. The drives /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are data drives.

When I installed suse12.1, I went in to ubuntu and did a gurb update and I have been able to boot into suse. There is an issue that when I boot into suse, I get the following,

resume device not found (ignoring)
waiting for device /dev/sdc3 to appear
want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC...... (Y/n)

When I enter Y, suse will boot. Why there seems to be an issue finding the drive is unclear to me.

Today, it will not boot into suse when I enter Y. A while ago I had a problem and moved my hard drives to a PCI sata controller card. When I did that, I was not able to boot into anything any more. I used boot-repair (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair) and was able to boot back into windows and ubuntu. I didn't try suse at the time, so I don't know if this problem is a hold over from the problem I repaired with boot-repair or not.

I have attached the results file from the boot_info script. The script seems to indicate that I have grub installed on the mbr of the windows drive as well as sdc. I am surprised at this because I am sure I removed all copies of grub except the on I installed with ubuntu.

Any suggestions on how to get back into suse?

Is this likely an issue of suse not having the drivers for the PCI card that the drive is plugged into? I really need sues right now (or course), so I need to be able to solve this. Maybe I can get in with super grub 2, but I'm not sure that grub is the issue.
