In my case it was because I installed an i386 kernel on a x86_64 box (with x86_64 user space). I made this mistake manually. @Markus: Could you maybe check with a rescue CD which kernel (i386 or x86_64) is actually installed? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I do know that I have the x86_64 install CD and I didn't change any of the kernel stuff (at least not intentinally). I'll let you know how it turns out. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I'm also having a hang during boot, but I'm not getting the runaway loop modprobe message. Install went without problems, but during initial boot the system hung.

A 64 bit binary tried to be executed on a 32-bit kernel. If you can reproduce that, then pls open the bug again. Be sure you formatted the partion you installed to (I guess there still was a x86_64 system installed and you intalled a i386 system over that one or tried to install a i386 kernel by accident after installation or whatever). Jon: Can you open a separate bug for your problem (if you still see it with latest 10.2 version). Try to boot in text mode and give as the last lines you see before it hangs. Please also try whether you can boot with maxcpu=1. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
