Re: [LUG] follow up to boot problems ....

["DAVID BROOK" <david.brook@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think on balance that it probably was an OS issue - originally we had a
system with Red Hat 9.0 as the initial OS with SUSE, Debian, Mandrake
sitting on top, all controlled by a fairly impressive GRUB loader config
file. No problems at all - I had some 25 - 30 partitions all working as one
would expect (or at least hope) - various partitions being assigned to the
differing OS loads.

I then elected to concentrate on SUSE 9.0 as our server OS. Without so much
as opening the case, I wiped the drive, installed SUSE 9.0 and the problems
started and did not go away until I upgraded to 9.1.

So - I don't know .....


Cheers

David
