It did that to my laptop after last update. It turned out that some dependency (kernel module ) installed kernel-bigsmp and made it default in grub setup. Choosing normal kernel(kernel-default) and removing kernel-bigsmp worked for me. Martin 2007/9/7, Clayton <smaug42@gmail.com>:

...

this is the newer virtualbox for 10.1 (according to yast)

That's not new at all... that"s very old. The latest is 1.5.0 that was released on 03 Sept.

...

I tried to install the 10.3 beta 3 kde cd, all went well but at reboot it rebooted normally... without accepting root pass.

this seems to be the usual problem when one try to install with only one cd.

I am not even getting that far with the KDE CD. It boots the CD fine, installs with no errors, but after the install it fails on the restart with a kernel panic and a message: PANIC: CPU too old for this kernel.

That's a new one on me... :-( Off to try it in VMWare now.

it's the newer available for openSUSE 10.1 (in Yast, no version for 10.1 in the virtualbox web site)

given the dependecies, I didn't wonder installing last by myself

(I don't know if the problem come from virtualbox)

There is a bug open on this... number 307676 (mentioned in the other thread on this problem) Some have said that if you manually switch the bigsmp kernel with the default, that it will work.... I'm still not having much success with it in VirtualBox even after changing over to a default kernel. I get past the point where the kernel panics, enter the root password, and the installer starts the system config detection, restarts and ends at a login prompt. I can't login of course since no users (other than root) were created yet. Interesting problems. :-P C. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

probably not the same bug: my opensuse 10.3 boots perfectly, but stops in kdm prompt and not having asked for pass before... I can't go further

I had already this problem and solution involve botting rescue, making a chroot and changing pass, but it need also mounting some system folders and I have no time to do this today :-(

You mean: mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev I got glitch with bootloader that is not yet resolved, but without /dev/ I couldn't get any hard disk to appear. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
