Mark,
I am convinced that the 2.6.34 kernel has so
regarding onboard module handling (or whatever the heck you call the modules that used to be external loadable module that are now black-magic in the kernel) I have an x86_64 laptop that hardlocks on boot with 2.6.34, but runs every kernel prior to that without any
bugzilla.novell for 11.3 optical disk read error (or any 2.6.34 module load error) and if you don't find anything related open a new report.
Yes, I know that it could possibly be nothing more
with one being more tolerant of disk problems than
experience from multiple Linux distros with kernel 2.6.34-X is that there is a huge bug there that affects several classes
very large bugs in it problems. Please search than drive differences the other, but my that the kernel folks are
struggling to get their heads around.
I'd also like to suggest trying http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/i586/ and installing it with rpm -i <KOTD flavor> (Go into yast and verify the bootloader was properly updated before you reboot) If your symptoms change, or go away, then David is right about this being a kernel problem. I also suspect 2.6.34 has a problem as I started having problems with LVM's when RC1 came out and has continued since. With the KOTD version, that has pretty much gone away. I know this is different than your problem(s), but K3b also seems to have benefited by writing much fewer drink coasters. When I run out of coasters, I put .34 back online :) BTW David, Thanks for your package manager/repo builder scripts...they make recovery and re installations much faster (maybe 20x) and I have no further worries about upgrades damaging my system with no recourse to downgrade again because the on line repos no longer have the older version(s) on line after the updates (in many cases). I back up ONLY the programs and versions that are actually installed anywhere on any of my systems and not the whole repo and can include 'bastard child' RPMs from other vendors not supported by o.o. or Packman , et al.
