Olaf,
I'm still debugging. I think i got an idea what caused the problem . It's because we're using yum to update the Hosts and it seems like if the mkinitrd was still the old one while the kernel was updated.
have: mkinitrd-1.2-27.9 must: mkinitd-1.2-27.21
I think that this is the problem, so it is not 100% Novell related ;-) so i'll try to verify this and give you feedback than.
Is it possible that this "old" mkinitrd is building a bad initrd with the new kernel version (it worked until 201, in 202.7/244 it seems not to work) ?
I dont know what yum is. But either initrd files should work ok. All you can get is a 'insmod failed due to kernel version mismatch'. Maybe something did corrupt the initrd. the only thing that could cause this is a SP2 mkinitrd.rpm with a SP3 glibc. The ldd output changed in SP3, mkinitrd is parsing that output to find the required libraries. The dynamic linker is missing. Just upgrade the mkinitrd pacakge manually and rerun mkinitrd. -- short story of a lazy sysadmin: alias appserv=wotan
