Boot Error - Error 15 : File not found

[adriangrigoras]

Hi,

I have a problem. My SuSE Linux Enterprise 9.2 doesn't start anymore.

I receive this error:
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 vga=0x31a selinux=0 splash=silent resume=/dev/sda1

Error 15 : File not found
What file is missing?

If I boot from a Live CD, can I access the root of my SLE?

Thanks

Yes if you use a live cd you should be able too access your home partition

I have those entries under the /boot/:

innitrd -> initrd-2.6.22.5-31-default
vmlinux-2.6.22.5-31-default.gz
vmlinuz -> vmlinux-2.6.22.5-31-default.gz
vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-31-default

I don't find a file: initrd-2.6.22.5-31-default

Another problem is that under the /boot/grub/ I don't have menu.lst, not even menu.lst.old

Execute this

ls -a /boot/grub

Post output here.

I figure out that there aren't any kernel. How to copy it? The structure is for /boot/ & /boot/grub of LiveCD. If I mount the sda1, I can't find any kernel. How to compile a new kernel or what you recommend to do next.

Thanks!

vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-31-default

These is a kernel in your /boot folder. Lets create new menu.lst file in /boot/grub folder.
Contents of menu.lst file :

default=0
timeout=10

title SuSe
root  (hd0,1)
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 vga=0x31a selinux=0 splash=silent resume=/dev/sda1
initrd  (hd0,1)/boot/initrd

Save file and reboot machine. In case it doesn't work, post the output of fdisk -l command and contents of /etc/fstab file here.
