Noticed kernel update for 10.3 386 system and I am concerned that I will end up with a NON-booting system. Currently have bug number 331662 open but there has not been any activity on it. I am currently forced to boot to the repair part of the DVD (which fails) and then select boot installed system in order for the system to come up. Since the boot kernel I am currently using actually loads from the DVD how can I proceed with this update?
Though the install GUI has been a great way to install and setup, when it breaks, you can always fall back to the CLI for more fine control and better feedback from the commands. Since it sounds like you have a boot problem, what is the problem and get that fixed so you can update your kernel with confidence. Did grub get installed? Where? Is this an upgrade or new install (drive devices changed)? Though I think booting the installed system would boot the system kernel (what does uname -a tell you), meaning you can update it OK, it would be best to get it all working properly. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
