Hi ! i´m into updating the Kernel 2.4.10-4GB #1 Mon Nov 5 on a Suse 7.3 System to 2.4.18-279 ... As far as good ... reading Step 4 from http://www.suse.de/de/security/2003_034_kernel.html "The variable INITRD_MODULES .... The variable should contain your scsi adapter (if any) or filesystem driver modules." cat /etc/rc.config | grep INITRD INITRD_MODULES="eepro100 3c90x 3c90x" Shows only the three NIC´s but no scsi adapter or filesystem module. Is it safe to update the kernel? Sorry for being dumb today ... but it confused me quite a litte bit. Thanks Uli
Hi !
"The variable INITRD_MODULES .... The variable should contain your scsi adapter (if any) or filesystem driver modules."
cat /etc/rc.config | grep INITRD INITRD_MODULES="eepro100 3c90x 3c90x"
Shows only the three NIC´s but no scsi adapter or filesystem module.
--> Do you use SCSI or AT-IDE drives ? If you don't use SCSI drives, you can forget about the first comment. Which file system do you use on your system partition? Try "mount" to get a list. If you use ext3, you need "jbd ext3" (preferably in this order) in INITRD_MODULES, if you use reiserfs, you need "reiserfs" in INITRD_MODULES. For ext2, you don't need a special module. HTH, Armin
Thanks ! / Filesystem is ext2 IDE so that´s why nothing was in it ... Upgrade succeeded - machine is up an running ... ! Bye Uli Armin Schoech wrote:

Also there is no need to have 3c90x listed twice. This is a module and will only load once to handle -all- of the 3com cards you have installed. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998
