What'd it do when you tried boot Opensuse with the new fstab?
If you've nothing to loose on your Opensuse partition, in my opinion i'd setup grub legacy as a chainload boot partition and then reinstall. For the record, If you don't know how to partition your hard drive when you install a distro then i recommend you learn how to before attempting this advice, because you will have to reinstall your bootloader for every installed os you currently have (and i even wouldn't know how to do that off my head), and set up every future install correctly to gain the benefits of this. It is worth looking into though. |
The same exact problem! But you think my best bet is to reinstall? I'm fine with it, and I know how to partition my drive.
|
So it even said, 'waiting for device /dev/sda2 to appear'
If it said the exact same message, try running sudo update-grub from your ubunut parititon and then booting again. |

I have just formatted and re-partitioned and installed opensuse, by if I select it, it boots Ubuntu! Any help?

Have you ran update grub from Ubuntu since installing, assuming you didn't install the bootloader from opensuse.
|
Yes!

I fixed it! And this fix can be done without the fstab, nut I do not know how dangerous this is. What I did to fix it was
1. Login to another install, in thiscase linux mint, one that does not affect the change that i would be doing 2. install mint's grub for safety 3. As root, go into the dev folder, (orginally opensuse was on sda, but it turned into sde) and switch the names of sda* with sde* 4. update grub 5. (I haven't done this yet) make sure the other install is still working I just do not understand why chamging the other fstab doesn't work, and I had to do the above steps which scared me(I was ready to bury my system) |
