Grub error 2 is "disk not found" which leads me to suspect that you were hit by the first issue listed in the errata [1] and that /dev/hda changed to /dev/sda or vice versa. Seeing that you have both a scsi and ide controller, that could explain it. Not 100% sure here though. > Since the machine had other available Linux systems (openSUSE 10.2 and > SuSE 9.3) I tried fsck on the new partion. Fsck reported no errors.
