Then it freezes. ------------------------------ The "tg3.c"-line makes me remember another experiment I've tried earlier: I tried to update with Yast (staring it from the boot CD). After collecting the software list Yast said, it found some hardware and gave the message:
load device driver TG3
Then it freezed. ----------------------------- Ok, I hope these "tests" will bring me closer to a solution. What should I do next? Thanks for any help!
The tg3 driver is a driver for a broadcom network card. Possibly one that is onboard. To continue for now, you may disable that hardware in your bios, or, if it is an extra PCI card, just remove the card for now. There is also a parameter tg3_debug, but I don't know the values for this parameter right now. It would not solve your problem anyway...
