Ok, after reading Comment#9 (above) I went to this URL:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/i386/ and downloaded and
installed with "rpm -ivh --oldpackage :
kernel-default-2.6.25.4-HEAD_20080526132305.i586.rpm 27-May-2008 08:39
21.7M
kernel-pae-2.6.25.4-HEAD_20080526132305.i586.rpm 26-May-2008 16:15
21.8M
kernel-vanilla-2.6.25.4-HEAD_20080526132305.i586.rpm 26-May-2008 16:16
21.7M
... installing one at a time, and then checking menu.lst to ensure it was
updated to allow a boot.
I obtained the same freeze symptoms as before, where I tried booting:
1st: 1 x kernel-default-2.6.25.4-HEAD_20080526132305.i586.rpm
2nd: 1 x kernel-default-2.6.25.4-HEAD_20080526132305.i586.rpm [fail safe
settings]
3rd: 1 x kernel-pae-2.6.25.4-HEAD_20080526132305.i586.rpm
4th: 1 x kernel-vanilla-2.6.25.4-HEAD_20080526132305.i586.rpm
6th-9th: 4 x kernel-default-2.6.25.4-HEAD_20080526132305.i586.rpm [ie 4 more
attempts of this build]
10th-11th: 2 x kernel-pae-2.6.25.4-HEAD_20080526132305.i586.rpm [ie 2 more
attempts of this build]
12th: 1 x kernel-pae-2.6.25.4-HEAD_20080526132305.i586.rpm ... and on this
12th attempt PC did not freeze in the same repeatable place, but booted
successfully (finally). But thats rather unsatisfactory, having to boot 12
times for 1 success.
This suggests to me the "HEAD_20080526132305.i586" version of the kernel has
the same problem.
I hope I grabbed the correct kernel to test from
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/i386/. There was a lot of
kernels on that site.
