Hello guys, that bug if it's bug appear onl;y when you have someting in transaction jornal file to be replyed over reiserfs filesystem, in that file are normally somting when the system didn't reboot or shutdown clear. Anyway I upgarded so many machines and only one hangs. How to fix it. Just boot from installation CD or LiveCD and mount the filesystem, them unmout it and reboot the system and everything works fine ;-) Best Regards --- suse@tremor.com wrote:

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.

I have had this hang on two HP DL320 G2 servers. On one server, I actually reinstalled the system with ext3 and it still hung on boot, although at a different point. I can't quite recall when it happened with ext3.

During the testing I had mounted the filesystem and unmounted as you stated and it didn't help, unfortunately.

These machines are only about 6 months to 1 year old.

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.
