I have mounted my home partition using the Rescue System and can see all of my data is intact!

All I need at the moment is to copy that data to a USB stick and I can just do a fresh install. Maybe it would be the easiest way forward for me.

My data is residing on /dev/sda3/ partition.

How I just need to mount a USB and copy all of my data to that USB device.


I am trying to follow this :

But I can't see anything if I run

dmesg | grep -i “SCSI device”

I would appreciate advice.

From the list you showed the only difference I can see would
Code:
set root='hd0,gpt9'
But it does no harm. All that happens if it's wrong is that it won't find what it's looking and you try something else but a grub prompt is usually a good thing.

Hello all,

Thank you very much to everyone who responded!I have backed up my /home directory and made a clean install ��.

Lessons learned . Never ever remove kernels by hand if you have little experience like I did. I just assumed...


Once again, thank you everyone.

No and yes,
With openSUSE use the Yast to change delicate (mm choice word 'delicate' just thought of it mm nice) setting it will point you into the correct areas to finish the alteration to the system and it has the ability to change practically most items Inc kernel changes.
Without bricking your install.
If you are not an opensuse genius use the tools there (Yast) to make things easier.
I have to stress to to you the importance of doing these thing when your at home with your (things to get and do) backup routine,
not when your on a flippin overseas escapade.
that saves shiploads of hassles,
I know because I learnt the hard way and got told off the hard way for being careless and not having no BackInTime and no Timeshift,
or software of your choice with trying.
Life is better with backup.

AND an edit
you should be given a few points for being so nice and polite.

Its not difficult, there are only a few packages installed in different Versions, one of them is the kernel, defined by /etc/zypp/zypp.conf:
Code:
multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,latest-2,running
This one will installed the 3 last kernel Versions.

If you want to delete one Version, goto Yast----Software, search for the package (in this kernel-default), mark the package in the right window and goto the Version Tab below.....
Inside the Version Tab you can delete the Version you do not want.

Your mistake was, that you are not going to the Version Tab after searching, you have deleted the "kernel-default".

Next time you know it......

I might have tried an OpenSuse live media. You can run Opensuse tasks from it.

Ran the command, removed the kernel but when I rebooted again all I have is a grub menu.

Did you run the following command at all?

Code:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
