    Dear list members -

    I've run into a problem trying to get grub working. I boot WinXP, SuSE 9.3,
    and Fedora 4. I have been using this and similar configurations for at least
    a year with no problem. I was trying out "suspend to disk" in SuSE 9.3. It
    worked ok a couple of times, but then one time when I turned my machine back
    on, the grub menu would not appear (there was a very brief message that
    flashed by before I could read it) and the machine would boot into WinXP.

    I have booted into SuSE with the rescue disk, but every attempt to get Grub
    installed fails. In Yast, everything seems to go ok until it tries to write
    the configuration, then it hangs and nothing more happens. I have to go to
    the console and kill the program.

    Any suggestions for how to get Grub installed again without wiping the disk
    and starting from scratch? I googled for similar problems, but could not find
    anything relevant.

    Thanks,

    Harry
