hello,

I've got a problem that sounds like this one

When I upgrade from ms5 to ms6 and a kernel update is installed after the
reboot it fails to boot.

This happens after each kernel update, I fix this by booting a suse 11.1 dvd
*I run x86_64 and the ms5 dvd image did not fit on the disk therefore I used
the  11.1 version
*because I did not want to wait for the long dvd download for ms-6 I used the
11.1 version again for the latest update.

my partitions
/dev/sda1 boot (ext3)
/dev/sda2 lvm  (system)
/dev/system/root (reiserfs)
/dev/system/home (reiserfs)

after booting to rescue mode I fix the initrd image through the following steps 
mount /dev/system/root /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
chroot /mnt
mount /proc
mount /sys
mkinitrd

reboot my system and the system works again

I am not sure if this because of the lack of lvm or the lack of reiserfs
support in the mkinitrd image
