Ing. Matteo Mattei Assistenza e applicazioni Linux

Today I've tested the new OpenSuse 10.3 with KDE both in CD and DVD version on an old Packard Bell Desk Pro. After a long waiting during installation, at automatic reboot it will be prompt a classical black screen with the message "Operative System not present". After a vanished search on the net looking for some informations, I thought that the installer was failed to install the bootloader and so I've just tried to do it manually. Here there are all the steps I follow:

• Run OpenSuse installation CD/DVD and enter in Recovery mode
• Run grub ed enter in its own shell
• From here run these commands:

grub> root (hd0,1)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit

Where:
hd0,1 => sda2
hd0 => sda

• Restart the system and magically the installation will go on.
