Exclamation Changed hard disk configuration, SuSE won't load. Ugh.
I am running SuSE Linux 9.1 Personal and I loaded it up on my hard drive. The first configuration was: CDROM is the master of the primary IDE channel, no slave, hard disk is master of the secondary IDE channel, no slave. I changed it. The new config is Hard disk 1 master of primary IDE channel (has SuSE loaded), Hard disk 2 slave of primary IDE channel, CDROM master of secondary IDE channel, no slave on this channel. It was working before I changed it, now it gives me a 'Kernel Panic' message and refuses to boot. It looks like GRUB is working fine, the SuSE boot menu appears, and it goes about its business booting, then gives me the error and stops. I do not wish to reinstall, since I was almost settled, and it takes 2+ hours to reinstall. Is there a way I can fix the config files in GRUB so that it will work with my new setup? Or did I mess up?

UPDATE: I gave it a kick-boot, typing in "root=/dev/hda2", just screwing around, and it worked. Not sure how to make GRUB find it automatically, but at least I got SuSE to boot.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
Jacob
