my fdisk -l

I assume that you used grub2 as your bootloader for aptosid. The given boot entry is from your opensuse installation?

Did you install your aptosid bootloader into the MBR (master boot record), or into the partion? If you installed it into the mbr, it was overwritten by the opensuse grub. If that's the case, you have to add a grub entry pointing to the actual kernel and initrd:

      Code:

title  Aptosid
root   (hdyourdevice,yourpartition)
kernel /yourkernelroot=/yourrootdevice vga=773 ro
initrd /yourinitrd


Remember that grub numbers devices beginning with 0. So if you installed aptosid onto your first hard drive, you have to refer to it as (hd0,sthsth)

Thank you vm.

ActuallY i am not sure to where did I install grub2 to MBR or not...

Well I trying with kernel, but it's kep me say error 15 (can not find file)
      Code:

title Aptosid
    root(hd2,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-4.slh.9-aptosid-686 root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-HDT722525DLAT80_VDR41LT8DJ6DXH-part1
    initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-4.slh.9-aptosid-686


The problem as I understand coming from root=/ I am nto sure what to write there, trying to fill it as it filled for other drives with changing IDs but no luck.
