Hello Roman, hello List,
I installed this kernel-update this night and after that I have a problem with my network-card. I'm running SuSE 8.1 on a Puretec-Root-Server with a network-card that uses the 8139too module. I can boot into a
rescue-system and in the
/var/log/boot.msg I see the following error:
Ok, it somehow can't find the nic driver module. See if
depmod -a rcnetwork start
solves the problem.
I have the same card in my machine at home, but I'm using the rtl8139 driver (not 8139too).
vi /etc/modules.conf and search the file for all occurrences of eth0. The (only) line should be close to the top. Remove the "too" from the module name, run depmod -a;rcnetwork start and see if it works.
Right now, I can't understand why the driver should not work after the update.
