9.1 Yast Online Kernel Update HANGS on ASUS A7N8X-E

The 9.1 Yast Online Update intoduces a kernel boot HANG inside /etc/init.d/boot.localfs at about line 114 with sync. The man pages say sync flushes the disk buffers. The lines nearby are... 113: fi 114: sync 115: test $FSCK_RETURN -gt 0 && touch... 116: fi I tried loading all the updates except the kernel update and everything worked. When I did the final SUSE Yast Online kernel update, the boot stopped at sync. After this point in boot.localfs the filesystems are to be mounted for use. Of course it never gets there. Could this be a kernel problem or a kernel update setup problem or both? SUSE are you listening? The SUSE 9.1 install required I use the "Installation - Safe Settings" to avoid Kernel Panics. That means amoung others acpi=off, apm=off, and ide=nodma. I added per the admin manual page 21, hdc=cdrom. The ASUS A7N8X-E is configured per the ASUS defaults with the SATA disabled by jumper SATA_EN1 2-3. The BIOS setup uses the defaults with CPU External frequency shown at 133 Mhz. A 133 Mhz DDR IS in Slot A1 and the CPU is an AMD Athlon XT 1800+. BTW /etc/init.d/README explains the startup process, useful to debug boot HANGs. John Wolter mailto: johnswolter(a)wolterworks.com
