Booting from the S.u.S.E. bootdisk

Support knowledgebase (linuxrc)
Applicable to
SuSE version: 4.4, 1st/2nd edition
Kernel version: all

Symptom:

The booting of a installed system from the SuSE bootdisk goes wrong in some occasions.

Cause:

In linuxrc only one digit partition numbers can be declared (or passed).

If the root partition is e.g. /dev/sda13, it does not work.

Solution:

A corrected bootdisk is no longer available. But you can download a newer one from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/5.3/disks/
