I have been running for months Suse 10.1 on a pc without any problem. Yesterday, all of a sudden, it stopped working. What happens is that I arrive to the Grub screen where I can choose between Suse 10.1 and Suse/failsafe mode.
If I select the first, or let the timeout expire, the screen goes black in about one second and nothing happens anymore. I have to press the reset button to restart.
if I select the failsafe mode, it goes almost immediately to character mode and freezes after printing "Kernel panic" and something else which unfortunately I had no possibility to write down.
Yes, there's lots of technical data after that. But usually near the words "kernel panic" (maybe the line above or below) is a short reason for the panic, e.g. "unable to mount rootfs" or so. Cheers, Leen
