I opted for auto-config on install of the o/s.) On boot I get an error message comprised of four noteworthy parts. Incidentally, it opens with the following: root (hd0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernal /vmlinuz-3.1.0-1.2-desktop root=/dev/system/root resume=/dev/system/swa p splash=silent quiet [linux-bzImage, setup=0x4200, size=0x4b2b60] initrd /initrd-3.1.0-1.2-desktop [linux-initrd @ 0x3736f000, 0xc8047a bytes] Then, noteworthy part I, it gives a series of what look address with one of two messages, each repeated twice: "No caching mode page present" and "Assuming drive cache: write through". E.g. [ 4.048802] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] No caching mode page present Then, noteworthy part II, it gives the "fatal" ata error: doing fast boot FATAL: Module ata_piix not found. FATAL: Error running install command for ata_piix Then, noteworthy part III, it says: Creating device nodes with udev udevd[202]: failed to execute '/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-sysctl' '/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-sysctl' '/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-sysctl lo -o hotplug': No such file or directory And finally: Volume group "system" not found Volume group "system" not found Volume group "system" not found I've no idea what any of this means. But it says it's "fatal", which is not at all reassuring for someone who cares about their data, and is neither a great advertisement for SUSE linux. Even if, as is suggested by the comments here, this is not a serious problem, it looks like one. Best get it sorted, I reckon, because every time I switch on my computer it tells me it's got a fatal problem with my hard disk. You don't have to be in the advertising business to realise how bad a trip those negative vibes are going to give you. -- 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.
