GRUB gives error messages after a OpenSuSE install attempt on a External HD
Hi!
I decided to wipe out my old, crammed external HD (79.9GB 7200RPM FireWire Connected) and give Suse Linux another chance (It wouldn't run very fast since I didn't have any more partitions left to assign swap space). I tried to install it on my external HD, but during the bootloader installation, I got two GRUB errors, And then YaST gives me the option to abort or edit the GRUB configuration. The GRUB bootloader files are on the internal hard drive on a reiserfs with 755 permissions. I think the errors are trying to tell me that YaST can't write to GRUB's master boot record. Should I temporalily chmod the /boot directory to 777 and change it back to 755 after the installation, or will that effect GRUB? By the way, currently im dual-booting Micro$oft Windows XP home and Ubuntu Linux 5.10.
