I also today had that my system was missing the initrd completely, but booting the rescue system, chrooting into it and "mkinitrd" created an initrd without any complaints... I'm really puzzled by all this :) Note that I am pretty sure that it is something strange with my setup that's causing the problems and not a generic perl-bootloader or yast problem - I'm running FACTORY with multiple kernels on another machine, upgrade all the time and have not had a problem for a long time. OTOH, my setup is not very special: - installed from live USB stick - one swap, one system partition, one data partition - system and data partition mounted by label, swap mounted by-id: LABEL=root / ext3 acl,user_xattr,relatime 1 1 LABEL=data /data xfs logbufs=8,logbsize=256k,noquota 1 2 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD1600AAJS-00WAA0_WD-WCAS2D612056-part1 swap swap defaults 0 0 - some additional package repos, but nothing with system-relevant stuff like yast, bootloader, kernel - only KDE, packman, VLC and stuff like that (and I make sure that only selected packages are from packman, I know they package also system stuff, but I don't use it) I already tried digging, but I did not find anything, hence the bug report :) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Kernel Modules: thermal_sys processor max_cstate=1 thermal fan crc16 jbd2 ext4 Module max_cstate=1 not found.

@Seife: Did you have a similar parameter added? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think this is question for kernel guys and its packager and juhliarik which sets failsage options ( I set only if juhliarik don't set it). Michal - could you look how max_cstate=1 (which is failsafe option) get into kernel modules? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
