yesterday I have installed the kernel update for SL 9.2 (2.6.8-24.17.i586 SL92_BRANCH-200507190856330000) via YOU. Today (the first reboot) I tried to compile some source and gcc segfaulted. Opera did not start
This is the first and only report about a problem with the 9.2 update that I am aware of so it could be a problem with your hardware. Please try to reproduce the problem with an untainted kernel (ie without use of the nvidia binary driver). Our kernel developers can't debug tainted kernels.
Hi, it is well-known by sysadmins that there are problems with kernel updates. It seems that the first reboot without power-off may cause sometimes problems. We had Kernel panic after some days, after such a update without power-off (Suse 9.1). I did not know what is the reason. I only could imagine, that some hardware after reset is not in the same state as after power on. Very mysterious. Regards Hans Ophüls
