After this mornings update it happened again. I had to "downdate" kernel etc to alpha2 ( DVD) the it worked. After upgrading again it still worked. On compiling and booting to my own kernel, same problem again. Luckily enough I could still boot the default kernel. After some investigation I came across /boot/grub/menu.lst. It contains erroneous information on root= in title "test" and title "2.6.21-rc5-git13-2-default-200704091147" After changing "root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-FUJITSU_MHV2080B_NW78T662BLKF-part4" to "root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-FUJITSU_MHV2080BH_NW78T662BLKF-part4" in title "test", line beginning with "kernel" I could boot without problem. Obviously, by "downdating" kernel or related package, the menu.lst got reset to proper content, thus misleading me to believe in relation to those packages. -----------------------------------/boot/grub/menu.lst------------------------- # Modified by YaST2.
