FW: [suse-security] SuSE Security Announcement: kernel - SuSE 7.0
Dear List. Even though, most of the readers that receive these messages are quite good at their work, there´s something I´d like to mention about the announced kernelupdate.. It´s about SuSE 7.0, Kernel 2.2.16 (the deflt) -> 2.2.19-20011026 If using MD (SOFT-RAID), you´ll notice a little problem after updating: the system does ckraid after restart - and after the long time waiting, nothing works. This is because of the version of the MD-drivers in the new kernel. My solution was to install the raidutil.rpm from the 7.1 distro. Then I only hat to convert the MD-device ( mkraid -o /dev/md0 ) and modify my /sbin/init.d/boot. I commented out all the MD-stuff and put simple raidtool-commands at places: /sbin/raidstart --all and /sbin/raidstop /dev/md* . As I said: most of you won´t catch that trap, but I would have been kind to read this before upgrading...

Hi all
After patching my kernel my Xwindows does'nt start anymore.
The error is:
Kernel module does not seem to be installed correctly.
I use a nVidia GeForce 256.
Is there something I should have typed in rc.configs 'INIT_MODULES section' before doing the mk_initrd ?
TIA
Søren

You need to get the NVidia-kernel Source RPM and do a rpm --rebuild nvidia-kernel.src.rpm ; rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/nvidia-kernel.rpm
