You can either upgrade your current kernel if you're brave, but I would recommend installing those alongside your current kernel with "rpm -ivh". This will allow you to boot back into your working kernel with your nvidia driver if you need to. The only unsatisfied dependency from a fully patched opensuse 10.2 box that I ran into was that I needed a newer version of perl-bootloader; grab the latest from here: http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source... (look in i586 for 32-bit or x86_64 for AMD64). You'll need to reinstall your nvidia driver. Download the latest driver for your architecture from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html , reboot into the KOTD kernel, then execute it wth ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run (or x86_64), and follow the defaults. It should take about a minute or less to rebuild your driver. After that an "init 3; init 5" should get you going again. BTW, Greg, thanks for backporting that patch! I would leave to see this in the next automatically distributed kernel, since a quick look around reveals that most laptops are missing DB-9 serial ports now. -Eric Swenson Scientific Computing & Imaging Institute, University of Utah -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
