Hallo, i have trouble with SuSE distributions 10.0, 10.1 and 9.3. Having them installed on the system, i get a hangup, nothing is working anymore, without a syslog entry. It is caused by different actions, i cannot specify, for example running BOINC (http://boinc.berkeley.edu). I checked most of the hardware... i don't know how to go on to find out what the problem is. do you have any hints? hwinfo: http://lfsle.swabian.net/hardware should i try a live cd?
I would.
Please send a bit more details about your system. Can you boot into single user mode? (Run level 1) Can you boot into multi-user mode (no GUI, no network, run level 2) Can you boot into multi-user mode (no GUI, no network, run level 3) Can you boot into GUI mode (run level 5). Normally, when someone says "hangup" that refers to a connection over a serial port. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
I can boot all runlevels, but theres no X installed. Maybe "hangup" is the wrong word (English is not my mother language). The system stands completely still, the text-curser doesn't blink anymore, even num-lock isn't working. Some actions in YaST cause that, i even could not install with graphics mode, the install of 10.1 failed every time (i think because of the zen-daemon).
My immediate reaction to this is that you have a faulty RAM module.
When you install SuSE there is the facility to test the memory (RAM). I suggest that you run this for no less than 30 minutes. If you have a bad module then the test should produce an error by this time.
Cheers.
I ran the memory test about 20 hours, no error. But I will test replacing each of the modules. Thanks so far
