SuSe 8.1 booting problem

LiFeIsWaSTed · 02-27-2003, 08:57 PM

For some reason when i boot up linux it gets an error in the stage before linux accully boots, (the MSDOS looking screen).

Error 23: Error While parsing number.

I dont know whats wrong, but if it helps i was messing around with the screen settings.

Any suggestions?

According to the manual - http://linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/ht...r/grub_13.html

"23 : Error while parsing number
This error is returned if GRUB was expecting to read a number and encountered bad data. "

It looks like you need to insert your boot disk (you did make one, didn't you?) and boot from that. Then you will need to re-run your grub configuration tool, wherever that is in SuSE. I seem to remember, that SuSE also allows you to use the install CD to boot an installed system as well, if you didn't make a boot disk.
