Hi

Some ppl reported problems updating to the new kernel on SuSE 7.3.

Well, my problems occured on 8.0, but the reasons could well be similar, if not identical. Anyway, I received a private email from someone who'd experienced the same problem and managed to solve it with the help of some SuSE people. Here's my translation to English: <Begin quote> Known problem: 8.0's implementation of mk_initrd pivot_root is unnecessary as well as completely broken with new kernels. Simply comment out the line [ "$rootfstype" = ext3 ] && use_pivot_root=1 then it should work again. <End quote> I haven't tried it myself yet, but it worked for the person who forwarded this information to me. Cheers, Tobias
