This x86_64 box had 11.0 installed from the time it was released to the present and has had every kernel update installed without any problem. So why now? Looking at the error message given, it looks like the installer lost its mind and is trying to issue non-existent modprobe options and it looks like it can't find the partition it is running on -- strange :-( Below, I have included all the relevant diagnostics I can think of. I need help! failure log error: 2010-03-18 00:50:21 kernel-default-2.6.25.20-0.7.x86_64.rpm install failed rpm output: Free diskspace below /boot: 93126 blocks Setting up /lib/modules/2.6.25.20-0.7-default Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.20-0.7-default Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.25.20-0.7-default modprobe: unrecognized option '--resolve-alias' Usage: modprobe [-v] [-V] [-C config-file] [-n] [-i] [-q] [-b] [-o <modname>] [ --dump-modversions ] <modname> [parameters...] modprobe -r [-n] [-i] [-v] <modulename> ... modprobe -l -t <dirname> [ -a <modulename> ...] Root device: /dev/mapper/nvidia_fdaacfde_part7 (mounted on / as ext3) Resume device: /dev/mapper/nvidia_fdaacfde_part6 Device mapper!nvidia_fdaacfde_part7 not found in sysfs /sbin/mkinitrd failed error: %post(kernel-default-2.6.25.20-0.7.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 The existing grub menu.lst that has worked for over a year: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title openSUSE 11.0 - 2.6.25.20-0.5 root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.20-0.5-default root=/dev/mapper/nvidia_fdaacfde_part7 resume=/dev/mapper/nvidia_fdaacfde_part6 splash=silent showopts vga=0x31a initrd /initrd-2.6.25.20-0.5-default What the installer did install in /boot [02:40 ecstasy:~] # l /boot total 20509 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 3072 2010-03-18 02:30 ./ drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2010-03-17 23:48 ../ -rw------- 1 root root 512 2009-04-14 19:22 backup_mbr lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 2008-10-17 22:02 boot -> ./ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 83043 2009-08-14 07:39 config-2.6.25.20-0.5-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 83043 2010-03-01 10:36 config-2.6.25.20-0.7-default -rw------- 1 root root 49 2010-03-18 01:46 .directory drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2010-03-18 01:46 grub/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2010-03-18 02:12 initrd -> initrd-2.6.25.20-0.7-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6114957 2009-08-20 17:34 initrd-2.6.25.20-0.5-default drwx------ 2 root root 12288 2008-10-17 21:59 lost+found/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 115828 2010-03-18 02:30 memtest.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 593408 2010-01-20 18:52 message -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 240694 2009-08-14 07:40 symsets-2.6.25.20-0.5-default.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 240887 2010-03-01 10:56 symsets-2.6.25.20-0.7-debug.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 283169 2010-03-01 10:36 symsets-2.6.25.20-0.7-default.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 108555 2010-03-01 10:44 symsets-2.6.25.20-0.7-lockdep.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 277661 2010-03-01 10:45 symsets-2.6.25.20-0.7-xen.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 441111 2009-08-14 07:40 symtypes-2.6.25.20-0.5-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 441121 2010-03-01 10:36 symtypes-2.6.25.20-0.7-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 126896 2009-08-14 07:40 symvers-2.6.25.20-0.5-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 126915 2010-03-01 10:36 symvers-2.6.25.20-0.7-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1176821 2009-08-14 07:34 System.map-2.6.25.20-0.5-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1177117 2010-03-01 10:32 System.map-2.6.25.20-0.7-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2505238 2009-08-14 07:39 vmlinux-2.6.25.20-0.5-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2505320 2010-03-01 10:36 vmlinux-2.6.25.20-0.7-default.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2010-03-18 02:12 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.25.20-0.7-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2109784 2009-08-14 07:34 vmlinuz-2.6.25.20-0.5-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2109912 2010-03-01 10:33 vmlinuz-2.6.25.20-0.7-default Yes, dev/mapper/nvidia_fdaacfde_part7 is really there: [02:40 ecstasy:~] # mount /dev/mapper/nvidia_fdaacfde_part7 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/mapper/nvidia_fdaacfde_part5 on /boot type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/mapper/nvidia_fdaacfde_part8 on /home type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) proc on /var/lib/ntp/proc type proc (ro) /dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccaja_part5 on /mnt/arch type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccaja_part6 on /mnt/arch/boot type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccaja_part7 on /mnt/arch/home type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccaja_part9 on /mnt/arch/var type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccaja_part10 on /mnt/arch/srv type ext3 (rw) Does it have enough space: yep!

Installer bug? I'm also attaching YaST/logs. Let me know if I can send anything else. I suspect it is dmraid related.
