I have installed SuSE 9.0 on a Compaq Deskpro EP-500 (Pentium III) and everything is working fine. If I move the disk to my other machines that are PIII, P4, Athlons etc - based, everything is also working fine, but the problems starts when I move it to my machines that has "smaller" CPU's (AMD K6). The system boots but then stops with the error: ... VFS: mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 336 freed INIT: version 2.82 booting INIT: Entering runlevel: 3 INIT: Id "1" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "2" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "3" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "4" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "5" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "6" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "SV" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel If I boot from the CD I can se that all the files on the disk are there (the filecount when running e2fsck is the same). e2fsck can find no errors. I have tried installing a new bootloader. I have tried different disks (10 & 30 GB disks) I have checked that the BIOS on the machines, intrepret the CHS info correctly. I have tried replacing the /boot/initrd with a version from a working 9.0 K6 host. If install SuSE 9.0 directly on the K6 machines it works OK. And moving a disk from one of those machines to any other K6 AND P4, Athlon also works OK. It just the other way around that does't. All K6 machines has 128MB ram or more and the motherboards are both Asus P5A and 2 different kinds from Chaintech. These machnes are normally running Linux 9.0, 8.2, XP and W2K. I use the standard kernel, but has also tried all selections in the boot loader. I have also tried with a kernel compiled for "Standard Pentium" with the same result. All new disks are created on new machines (P4, Athlon), so I can't just start all new installations on the K6 machines. Besides, I need to know what's going on. To me it looks as if some kind of CPU/system specific code is installed onto a system when SuSE is installed. Any idears, I'm really stuck here. ------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen Bo Jacobsen
