When I've booted with this version of the kernel, it boots, but the graphics are all broken up on the bootsplash/login screen, but system seems to work ok after. When using the kernel boot option "lapic" the bootsplash/login screen is ok.
Thta's a different issue, the problems star in your system BIOS, if you can please do this:
Enter your BIOS setup program and select "load optimized defaults(or something similar)"
Then
a) in the power managment section, ensure ACPI is enabled. b) try to find an option like this one http://www.techarp.com/showfreebog.aspx?lang=0&bogno=269 and ensure the IOAPIC is enabled or LAPIC..whatever. b) This system is quite old it seems, ensure you have the latest BIOS from the motherboard manufacturer..
About the system messages,they seem normal
Message: 234.896368] eth0: vortex_error(), status=0x8081
comes from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=dr... line 1972 it always prints the device status when debug > 2... not something to worry about...
It is either a regression somewhere else in kernel since 11.3 or is just that the new kernel doesnt handle bugs in your BIOS...huh. I'm done some kernel developer has to check this one, my knownledge stops aroud here ;-(
Because I got exactly the same problem installing updates/patches and downloading acroread, Inkscape or Scribus as Tony Watson described earlier I would like to remind you that this bug is in the first place a problem within the 2.6.37.1-kernel for 32-bit-machines and not a possible failure of the motherboard BIOS. Until openSUSE 11.3 everything worked as it should and updating my 64-machine to 11.4 was successful also. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
