    I got a new 40 gb hard drive and am installing Suse 8.2 along with Win98. My problem is that it boots to a GRUB command prompt instead of the GRUB splash screen. I checked all the commands by pressing the tab button as well as typing ‘help'. Non of them seem to work . I am fairly new to this.

    This is the first time that has happened to me as I have installed it before with no problem. Before it asked for cd #2 after the basic installation when I rebooted, if my memory serves me correct. It didn't this time.

    What am I doing wrong? I booted to the cd to install it. I'm a little embarrassed by this.
