I recently installed suse 7.1 and apparently after making some configuration changes (manually) the shutdown and boot process is throwing a lot of error messages. I read traffic elsewhere to the effect that I failed to run SuSEconfig from the CL. Ok, I stand corrected, but how do I fix this mess now?
