I rebooted our mail server this evening to find that it failed to reboot. I get the grub loader followed by Loading Linux............................................. Then nothing! This is on a suse 9.1 box,running the latest suse kernel. I have booted from the suse disks and can mount the drive from rescue mode, all looks ok to the untrained eye! My guess is that a kernel update has gone wrong at some point, and the reboot has found it, question is how do I recover from this? (I could really do with avoiding a full rebuild from scratch, the reboot was to start a backup of our new dns settings!) Any suggestions? Thanks Rob Keeling

If you boot from the 9.1 CD/DVD there is an option in there to repair an installation. I think it will detect problems automatically and attempt to fix them, or allow you to choose what you think needs fixing. -- Phil Driscoll
