I could boot with the only kernel I found on the factory cd, that is the one named vmlinuz-xen and it's initrd-xen many time ago there where kernel problems I though now updates could let a default kernel stay. The crash occurs very early in the process. I can boot with the grub console, it crashes at "probing EDD", nearly immediatly when pressing boot -- 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.

I can confirm the pae kernel works here, too (with the option). (Thanks for finding out!)

I though now updates could let a default kernel stay

"could" is the magic word, it is now *possible*, but it's not actually *done*. Factory expects from its users that they want to spend considerable time in training their recovery abilities, or that kernel updates never break, which is both rather unlikely IMO... ;) -- 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.

What it logs looks rather unconspicious to me, though. With the PAE kernel booting, this isn't a blocker for me anymore. But maybe for other people. -- 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.

I could update my installation with the netiso. In the factory-list this thread was also solved.

But judging from comments #9 and #10, it seems the problem is already fixed.
