I have not tried anything but reinstalling nvidia drivers yet. if you boot into init 3 it works on command line, but if you try to start xdm you get the black screen and nothing else. The following is not a flame, but I think it has some relevance here: If anyone from SUSE is reading the message boards, and I'm sure you are aware of the problem, it would be really nice if when updating you could make sure that at the least everything works. I stopped using SuSE at one point because of an issue very much like this, and would really like to continue to use and recommend SuSE, but this really sucks to be honest. Especially having come back to SuSE after this kind of thing seemed fixed with the 9 series. Maybe i'm being too harsh but you don't win anyone over with this kind of mistake... (ok, off the soap box I go) I would really like to be able to fix this without having to reinstall...etc... If that is not the case I think I will just switch to something else and be done with it. (maybe gentoo can update successfully?) On Tuesday 08 February 2005 10:21 am, you wrote:
I'm afraid that you are one of many who have experienced this. I'm afraid that I fscked my system completly by trying to fix it. It would appear that this is due to the kernel upgrade. I loaded up the installation DVD to see if I could repair the damage and seem to have now lost internet connectivity.
Any ideas on how to recover my system? It is 9.1 AMD-64. I'm contemplating getting the 9.2 distribution and updating. Does this sound like it might be the right way to go?
Regards, Bill

Don't know, I will have to try that later when I get home. Any other ideas are surely still welcome if anyone knows exactly what has caused this.

Just a thought, but does running depmod -ae in the modules directory fix it? -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
