To make Suse 9.3 able to suspend to disk, it requires a swap partition. When I installed Suse I didn't make a swap partition. After I learnt this, I went back to XP and using partition magic I resized my XP partition so that I have about 500MB space between XP and Linux partition. Then in Suse with cfdisk I made the swap partition. When I did this, Suse's partiton became hda6 which had been hda5. New swap partition became hda5. I suspected that things may not go well if I wrote the configuration but I saved it. After the reboot I was in grub> text console.

How can I fix it? thanks for your help.


System: Dell Inspiron 6000, 512MB DDR, 60GB,

Boot to a knoppix cd, or other live cd, mount the hard drive. Then edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change the device for the root partition. Don't forget to change it in /etc/fstab on your SuSE partition as well or else it won't mount things correctly.
