Well I finally was able to try the latest patches, and it still hangs on boot. I've submitted this bug to SuSE via their web site and received no response. It is very difficult to stay on SuSE when I cannot get kernel patches installed. Does anyone know if SuSE keeps on top of issues via this mailing-list or is there another route I should take? I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get this resolved.
I really don't have the ability to test the latest kernel on my servers due to location, but the last update prior to the latest one (2.6.5-95 I believe) caused my servers to hang on boot, mainly after try to access the transaction logs on my filesystems.
Has anyone tried the latest kernel update on a system that hung before?
For noting, my servers are newer DL320 G2 series, with the latest BIOS, with ReiserFS as the filesystem.
