I installed an RPM package from Suse for my 7.1 version to upgrade its kernel to 2.4.7. Last time I installed this 2.4.7 rpm package on a machine which has one processor and IDE hard-disks and it was working fine. Now I tried to do it with a multiprocessor system which has SCSI controllers, as well internal-external SCSI hard-disks. I realized that there is a difference between the kernel, using uname -a, see below. I am not sure but I beleive that this RPM package doesn´t handle properly the multiprocessor environment that´s why I can´t boot. Should I compile the kernel after changing some parameters in config? Do you have any ideas what I should change exactly? Thanks in advance, Ferenc On the one processor-IDE system I can see: nssstat@nwss2:/home/nssstat$ uname -a Linux nwss2 2.4.7-4GB #1 Tue Dec 11 18:47:27 CET 2001 i686 unknown While on the multiprocessor-SCSI system after booting 2.4.0: nssstat@nwss3:/usr/src > uname -a Linux nwss3 2.4.0-64GB-SMP #1 SMP Mon Jan 22 16:44:21 GMT 2001 i686 unknown ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The previous mail: Dear All, I just got an error when I upgraded my Suse 7.1 kernel from 2.4.0 to 2.4.7. This is the latest downloadable version for Suse 7.1 on ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/kernel/2.4.7. Last time I had no problem on another machine(it is still working), though I installed it into IDE drives instead of SCSIs. I have 4 internal SCSI disks and a lot of external and I installed the system on the third internal SCSI disk and I added root=/dev/sdc2 section to /etc/lilo.conf file. Now I can boot the 2.4.0 system with lilo, but I get this error message when I want to boot using 2.4.7 kernel. Warning: unable to open an initial console. Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. I checked all the archives, but I couldn´t find exactly the solution, so kindly try to give me some hints how to go further. A quick response is highly appreciated. Best Regards, Ferenc
