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?

No reason, I just wanted to understand why it does not work for me.
Usually I can get it to work except with SUSE. I am wondering though if
it is because SUSE thinks my IDE drives are SCSI. I have Ubuntu on
another machine and it detects my IDE drive as hdc instead of sdc.

device.map:
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
(hd2) /dev/sdc
