I am running 64-bit SuSE 10 on a Presario R3240 laptop (AMD64-based). I installed the rpm for the the latest _x64 kernel of the day (KOD), 2.6.18.2, dated Nov. 25. (The rpm saved me some manual labor from redirecting the link to '/usr/src/linux'.) During boot, the system crashes. Here is part of the messages I am getting, ending with the crash: . . . fsck succeeded. Mounting root device read-write. Mounting root /dev/hda6. kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds. EXT3 FS on hda6, internal journal. EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. /bin/run-init: opening console: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! And then the system just hangs. Here is the part of the /boot/grub/menu.lst which is pertinent to this: title Linux-2.6.18.2-20061125183539-preemptible root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-20061125183539-preemptible root=/dev/hda6 vga= 0x317 selinux=0 resume=/dev/hda7 splash=silent showopts idebus=66 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.2-20061125183539-preemptible This section of /boot/grub/menu.lst was created using 'INSTALL_PATH=/boot make install', which is SuSE's well-thought shortcut to the drudgery of copying system map files manually. I enabled full preemption. I had no problems with full preemption with 2.6.16. Could anybody shed some light on what I may be doing wrong? TIA for your time. -- Running 64-bit Linux on AMD64 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+help@opensuse.org
