Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Today my system just froze while moving the mouse. It was completely dead, so I had to hard-reset it. During boot there was a problem activating the crypto-fs (which needed checking). While I tried to enter "check" after the passphrase prompt, I saw a panic-like message on the screen, then the display manager started. Examining the syslog later I found (no reasons for the freeze) these messages during the boot after reset: Apr 17 08:41:15 (none) kernel: kobject_add failed for vcs1 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
