Hi Folks.
I'm sure this is dead easy for someone with a bit more experience but
it's got me foxed at present. I have two hard drives. The master
contains 2 partitions - C: for Windows XP, D: a data partition for the
XP system. The slave had Ubuntu 8.04 on sdb1, dual booting quite
happily, with XP as the default.
As I am still evaluating which flavour of Linux to work with, I have
been experimenting with openSuse 11 Live CD. I then decided to install
it to the second hard drive. The install went fine with Suse even
giving me a boot-order option which I set to - 1(Default)XP,2 Ubuntu,
3 openSuse. The problem I have is that, although the opening boot
screen shows the correct boot order, I cannot get into Ubuntu. I am
getting "Filesystem type unknown" and Error 17. I can mount the ubuntu
partition from within Suse. My menu.lst from openSuse is as follows:

Any suggestions as to what I am missing? I don't really want to do
full reinstalls of the Linux systems as I have already made changes to
both OS's.
