Reg - Booting Suse Linux

[rbaalaji_84]

Hi,

I have an acer laptop with Suse Linux Enterprise Edition 10.1 operating system. They have partitioned the hard disk already.

I tried to unpartition one drive and then tried to boot linux os.

But it gave an error and I could not boot.

Then I went back and partitioned the same drive as before and tried to start the linux os. But again it gave the same error.

The error is
" loading reiserfs
waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_wdc_wd3200BEVT-_WD_wxe308jf2860-part1 to appear:
.............. not found-- exiting to /bin/sh
$ "

I am a new to linux and can you please help me in this regard?

I'm using a acer Laptop (aspire 5310) with Fedora,Though I'm not sure about the errors you are getting, Using Reiserfs gave me some problem.So i would suggest you to switch to ext3 File System.
If possible install Fedora or Ubuntu in your machine.

I have tried OpenSuse,Ubuntu,Fedora with acer laptop and
Impressed with performance of Fedora and Ubuntu .
