Update from 11.3 to 11.4 via zypper dup dup --download "in-advance" on 2 of my computer this weekend, laptop and desktop. I have run into the following issues any help appreciated:

If the system hangs or locks up , on the laptop or desktop (see below for when they hang or lock up), when I reboot, /etc/init.d/network and kdm do not start by themselves. I have to login as root do /etc/initi.d/network start and then type in kdm, the gui (kde 4.6.x) starts, if I shut down the computer, the next reboot (assuming does not hang again) /etc/init.d/network and kdm start. A restart or logout, does not get /etc/init.d/nework and kdm to start by themselves again only a system shut down does. Same here, but after clean install. Can't figure out what happens yet. It often hangs after starting dbus... The problem has gone after I set RUN_PARALLEL ="no" in /etc/sysconfig/boot I see the same on one system and have filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=680297

Lars Cool, thanks. I'll keep that in mind. For now I have dropped both my systems back to 11.3. In time I'll try going to 11.4 again.

Was also wondering if anyone has any information, on the other issue I posted. That is the amd cpu based desktop locking up at random with no error messages. The only symptom is there are a lot of [900.000017] [Hardware Error]: No human readable MCE decoding support on this cpu type errors in syslog and the numerical number is different each time. I used the nomce option which does stop the error messages, but the amd cpu based desktop is still unstable, with random lock ups. I have the amd Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core processor 5600+, some of the stuff I found in the internet indicated this might be an issue with the 2.6.37 kernel. I am 32 bit, thinking about trying 11.4 on 64bit, got a test hard drive. Tony -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
