Z.K. in <ctN3j.22496$ht1.5285@trndny01> :

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to get grub to work in Suse.
I just installed Suse 10.3 and Grub gives me an error 17

From the manual:

17 : Cannot mount selected partition
This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem
type cannot be recognized by GRUB.

Post your menu.lst, device.map and /etc/fstab
Maybe there is something to invest.

I have a few old PII here which Grub does not like unspite which
distribution (debian, fedora, suse) i use. Lilo is fine then i guess.

Why do you want to persist on Grub?
