Please, on this report what is of interest is that menu.lst was borked, so you have to post the bad menu.lst and the log of the incident, if possible. The kernel panic can be reported in full on another bugzilla, where you can mention how it came to be, and here that it caused another problem. -- 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.

Sorry Carlos, the bad menu.lst file is no longer available, as I have edited it. It looked pretty much identical to the one in your OP though. So I'll just say that this happened to me too. -- 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.

We have some new bug screeners training. The kernel panic is typical of what happens when you have no initramfs listed in your bootloader config. The kernel can't use what it hasn't been given, so it can't load the real root file system or even the initramfs file system since there's no initramfs. This looks like an issue in perl-Bootloader. -- 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.
