I am always screwing around with one of the latest Linux distributions. In the past year I've have a dual boot system with Windows, Fedora, Ubuntu and Suse. My current configuration was Windows 32 bit and Suse 11.2 32 bit.

Suse 11.3 came out and I went to upgrade Suse 11.2 32 bit to 11.3 32 bit. I had trouble with the automatic upgrade, Suse 11.3 kept seeing my Intel ICH10R southbridge chipset as a RAID configuration. I am currently not running a RAID and have it turned off in the BIOS. So I decided to forget the upgrade and do a fresh install by manually setting up the partitions to eliminate the RAID error I was getting. So I complete the installation and this is what I have now:

When I first bootup, I get a GRUB boot loader that has Suse 11.3 64 bit and Suse 11.2 32 bit listed. If I click on Suse 11.3 64 bit it loads fine. If I click on Suse 11.2 32 bit it goes to a 32 bit GRUB boot loader that has Suse 11.2 32 bit and Windows 32 bit listed. If I click on either Suse 11.2 32 bit or Windows 32 bit, they load fine.

What a crazy configuration, and it works! :lolol:
