Hello SuSE people,
Did an upgrade with apt on my 10.0 last night.... Rebooted and it won't

Hi Bob,
There was a thread here in the last day on this exact problem... apparently there was a mixup causing a 10.1 component to be inadvertently installed during the update. From that thread:
"... It has to do with the file /etc/init.d/earlykdm, installed by the new kdebase3 rpms, build -27. You can edit that file with the changes I'll indicate below to put things right using the -27 build rpms.
Replace this:
if test -z "$DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN"; then /sbin/preload /etc/preload.d/kdm else /usr/bin/ionice -n2 /sbin/preload /etc/preload.d/kdm.auto /usr/bin/ionice -n6 /sbin/preload /etc/preload.d/kde & echo $! > /var/run/preload-session.pid fi
With this:
if test -z "$DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN"; then /sbin/preload < /var/cache/preload/kdm.preload else /usr/bin/ionice -n2 /sbin/preload < /var/cache/preload/kdm.auto.preload /usr/bin/ionice -n6 /sbin/preload < /var/cache/preload/kde.preload & echo $! > /var/run/preload-session.pid fi
If I were you, I'd boot into rescue mode, mount the partition and check this file out. If it matches the first section try editing it as indicated. BTW, the post I've quoted was Lee's (BandiPat's).
hth & regards,
Carl
Hi Carl Yep, I remember seeing that and never thought anything of it. Now, I can't seem to mount my filesystem from the rescue prompt. Either I have an advanced case of dementia/alzheimers (possible) or it is something else. Possibly because some of my partitions except / are LVM's? A short refresher would certainly be appreciated. Of course I have lots of notes and stuff on how to do these things but they are all inaccessible right now. (On SuSE 10 that won't boot) Bob S.
