I upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2 using the x64 dvd on a AMD Opteron SMP machine with no problems at all, breezed right through it. (Since you gave us zero details about the target hardware) I suggest returning back to 9.1, ensure your CDs/DVDs are pure and that your are installing the correct format for your hardware config. -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Jaeger [mailto:aj@suse.de] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 9:33 AM To: rkimber@ntlworld.com Cc: suse-amd64@suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-amd64] Upgrade to 9.2 - please help rkimber@ntlworld.com writes:

When it rebooted, however, it failed with a message saying that fsck had failed and that I should repair manually and reboot. However, e2fsk showed no errors when run manually on all partitions. Irritatingly, maintainance mode also crashes (at "Searching for info file ...") when run from the DVD and I've been using the CD.

Where do I go from here? (I paid money for this .... )

And we worked hard to get it working on our test systems;-) Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
