<p class=MsoNormal>I updated my OS from OpenSUSE 10.3 to OpenSUSE 11.0 last
weekend and the computer would not reboot. It just came up with a prompt “grub>”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I had never seen this before, so I wasn’t sure what it
was. After doing some research, I found out it is a boot loader and it
didn’t know where to boot from. So, now I know how to manually tell
it where the kernel and initrd files are located and how to configure it to
find OpenSUSE 11.0. I’m not sure why all that was necessary, but I’m
back up and running smoothly again and a little more nerdy.<o:p></o:p></p>
