Hi all
Have tried to dual boot CentOS with SUSE 9.3.
Installed SUSE first then CentOS 4 and now cant boot into SUSE any ideas how I can get grub to pick up SUSE..I thought I had configured grub correctly at install.
Regards.
Newton
First, Are you sure you did not overwrite any of SUSE partitions???
If yes you did not then, You should edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and append a section like this
title SUSE # You should edit the following 3 lines to reflect your SUSE configuration root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.EL.img
If SUSE is using GRUB so, try to mount its /boot partition and take the contents from /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf

I've had the same problem with debian first installed, I don't think this system are willing to find other linux system, i don't now. Here is my routine
1. figure out with harddisk suse is: [root@server kai]# /sbin/fdisk -l
2. mkdir for mounting [root@server ~]# mkdir /mnt/debian
3. mount the suse disk [root@server kai]# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/debian
4. now brows your way to grub.conf on suse. /mnt/debian/boot/grub/ whatever locaton
5. copy the suse boot and paste it in centos, grub.conf
kai

Newton,
I am relatively new to Linux and the CentOS Distro and I wanted a dual boot machine, XP and CentOS.
(At this point I don't know how to tell you to recover your SUSE installation by modifying the MBR, but you may just repeat the SUSE installation first)
Here is what I discovered, it is simple but it works for now.
During the CentOS installation, you will get a selection for the "default" OS to boot up using GRUB. Just rename "other" to Suse and select that as the default. Then CentOS will complete the installation on your "spare" partition. When the machine reboots, you will have 3 seconds to choose CentOS or let the Suse "default" boot up.
I still want to get into the "boot scripts" and learn about them, but for now I am satisfied with my machine boot up options.
Let me know how you make out.
Thanks, David
