SuSE 9.1 XP Dual boot issue… Hung at < loading Grub >


I installed XP first (as usual because MS does not like to play with the other kids on the block) then loaded SuSE 9.1 Pro.

All looked good except when I restarted the system it will go through POST, then hangs on < loading Grub >
I tried it twice and have no option except to boot from the CD into SuSE.
I have tried to repair, re-install and still it will not dual boot with XP.

I have never had issues dual booting with SuSE before, in fact that is why I have stayed with SuSE since 6.4 it was easy with no conflicts.
I had it too easy I guess.
I mean I never had to learn how to monkey around with the OS, it just has always worked out of the box for me and away I went running my programs and such…

I can boot from the CD and gain full access to Linux, any suggestions on where to go, and what to configure to get Grub to kick in.

Thanks in advance… Michael Adams, New Port Richey Florida.

Post your /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst. Fstab to see the device setup, and menu.lst to see the SuSE kernel boot setup.
The first part of grub is installed to the MBR; the rest is in /boot, and menu.lst tells grub where to find the rest of itself, and where the root of the filesystem is. Fstab names the devices to mount, and their mount points. The breakdown could be in either place.
