Suse9.2 no boot
 

Hello,To all

Well after all that hard work on suse9.0
i said the hell with it i went & got suse9.2 Pro
what a bad idea this was

at first it will not install then when i get it
installed. i can't boot it's like it can't find
the hard drive i did try to reinstall & made
sure to use lilo

now when i had installed suse9.0 there
where 3 partions but with 9.2 all i see are 2 ????
i also give the repair option a try but when it
ask me for the password it will not take the root or user password

help me

Thank you :(

I think you need to give more details...such as your hardware.

I'm running SuSE 9.2 on a notebook with zero issues and it's been a very positive experience.

Hello,JSpired

Yes yes you are right i am installing on my
gateway Solo1200 laptop all was great with suse9.0 Pro
but then i went for like i said 9.2 Pro & all with
to crap big time here is the error when i reboot

Are you doing an upgrade or fresh install? Is that the only error?

Hi,JSpired

Hey,To all

Well i now have suse9.2 Pro installed i just
could not get it installed on any of my Laptops
so i said what the hell

i installed it on one of the desktops but
here is the problem now i have over 200 GB
should i have used all of the harddrive

Thank you ????

No you should not even be close to 10 Gig's.. print the output of:
df

Hello,ksgill

First thanks for your time but

print the output of:
df ????? huh

more info please

Thank you

Hi,ksgill

Ok here is what i have it looks like suse
installed on say a 160 GB but all seems
to be running great is this something

that i will have to once again reinstall
suse please say it's not so

Thank you

Hello, if its running fine thn you dont have to reinstall it. :D Not sure what happened to the rest of disk space.. try df as root in the console.

Hi,ksgill

Could you please tell me what is this "df"
& yes it is running great a lot better then
suse9.0 but that maybe just me

so far the one problem i am having
is no sound no big thing to me i don't
use anything that i need sound

you know it would be nice if i could
some how parttion this hard drive
so i may have somewhere to install
progs but not sure if it is to late to do that now

Thank you

One very important thing to learn in linux is to use the console (or shell). In suse you can get it from
start menu>> System >> Terminal >> Konsole

In that shell, you can issue different commands .. df - report filesystem disk space usage. It tells u how much of space you have used on all your hard drives.
for sounds you can do
alsaconfig
in the same shell. It is very useful.. learn how to use it.

Good Luck
