I have tried for several months to upgrade to the 2.6.37 kernel in the various release candidate iterations, as each appeared. But each installation was unsuccessful, and the operatiing system wouldn't boot to desktop with the same symptoms as I am about to describe in the subsequent paragraphs. I ended up downgrading my kernel back to the 2.6.34 version to allow the operating system to boot up properly. I did this by using the failsafe mode to boot up, then using yast to downgrade the kernel-default to 2.6.34.7-0.7.1. The other installed kernel packages, kernel-default-base, kernel-default-devel, kernel-devel, and kernel-source remained at version 2.6.37 but everything worked.
You can have several kernels installed. If an update fails, you simply boot the previous kernel.
/etc/zypp/zypp.conf

That's in 11.3, in 11.2 is a bit more difficult.
2. When kde would normally boot to the kde login screen, I get a message: Cannot enter home directory using /.
Boot to runlevel 3. It seems your home is not mounted.

Hi, I am not sure how to get home to mount. I know how to boot to runlevel 3, that is how I found out that there was no home for that kernel. What is next? Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
