Hi all.
I'm trying to dualboot with Suse 8.1.
First I installed WhiteBox and got it running.
Then I installed Suse 8.1, and got it running.
The setup is
hda2: white box
hda3: swap
hda5: suse
Then I modified Suse's grub file menu.lst to point to the
WB partition.
Suse still comes up fine. WB comes up, but attempts to check
hda5 during boot. It gives the following:
Checking filesystems
fsck.ext3/dev/hda5:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. blah-blah-blah
Not surprising, as it's an ext3 filesystem. Trying to mount the disk from
WB complains that the reiser filesystem modules aren't available.
I don't really need to get to the Suse partition from WB, so how do I get
it to ignore hda5 when booting?
Thanks,
John
