Only booting into grub after zypper update
Jan 19th 2013, 11:32

Greetings

Did a "zypper refresh" followed by "zypper update". Finished successfully (I think), and then rebooted immediately. Now system only boots into grub (version 0.97) and stops with error 15: file not found. Running temporarily on Mint LiveCD.

Code:

# cat etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 11.4 (i586)
VERSION = 11.4
CODENAME = Celadon
mint opensuse_root #

Code:

# fdisk -l
