I then had an idea to try, and that was to copy
libreadline.so.4
back to /lib64 and try booting up with the intention that if I could again get the 15.3 system up and running (without the KDE/Plasma desktop) I could then SSH in to the system and run the ldconfig script that David Rankin told me to do. But still no joy, the system still hangs/freezes right after I select the 15.3 system to start up. So this is where things now stand.
I will try, not very hopeful, to remove the libreadline.so.4 file from /lib64 again to see if that makes any difference. If so, will get back to you with the results...
As always, thanks for your thoughts! Marc...
Can you boot 15.1 and mount your 15.3 root under /mnt (or a subdirectory) and check the /lib/modules with ls -al to see what kernel(s) you have installed? Unless you disabled the multiversion setting for zypper, you should still have your last kernel installed. HA! Yes I was ahead of you on mounting 15.3, in my 15.1 world I have it mounted at /SuSE15.3. Here is what ls -al shows -
nova:~ # cd /SuSE15.3/lib/modules/ nova:/SuSE15.3/lib/modules # ls -al total 20 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Oct 26 23:15 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 15 20:11 .. drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 23 17:48 5.3.18-150300.59.71-default drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 23 18:29 5.3.18-150300.59.93-default drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 26 23:16 5.3.18-150300.59.98-default
You can likely rebuild the startup files (initrd) though somebody else will have to chime in with the exact command for 15.3 (I'm pretty sure it used dracut also)
OK, any somebodies else around?
With the luck you have had lately, don't go gambling....
I agree! Won't do anything until I am told to do anything! Thanks again David...
