I experienced no problems updating the kernel on two SuSE 7.3 machines. But on a SuSE 8.0 installation with an ext3 root filesystem, the new kernel panics on boot, saying that can't access device 03:05 (the root filesystem is on /dev/hda5). The previous kernel did not exhibit this problem. The problem goes away when "append=noinitrd" is used, though reportedly a warning is issued.
Are you *sure* the initrd was rebuilt correctly? What you describe is exactly what happens when modules from a wrong kernel version are loaded... (In this case, the ext3 module; with "append=noinitrd", the file systems are probably mount as "ext2", right?) Martin
