All, I installed the updated kernel on three (3) test boxes all running 7.2. I had mixed problems on all three of them. One of them locked up frequently. No diagnostic text, no kernel panic screen... Just frozen solid. One of them fails to load a few services. The last one failed to initialize the network properly and though running ifconfig showed the network card as alive and working, you could ping out or ping him. Reverting back to the 2.4.16 kernel fixed all. With all of the problems that we all have been reporting, I cannot see how this was released as stable software... Anyone agree? Thanks :-) Drew -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Muck [mailto:fam.muck@telda.net] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 3:55 PM To: suse-security@suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-security] Problems with kernel update on 7.3 Hallo, out there, Am 14.04.2003 um 14:25 schrieb Andreas Otto:
Did anyone else encounter strange problems after the recent recommended kernel update?
Yes, my SuSE 7.2 system freezes unexpectedly during normal work. I decided to go back to kernel k_deflt-2.4.16-22 from late 2001. Now everything works fine, but I hope that there will be a new kernel-Update in the near future that fixes the security problems AND provides a stable system.
