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 ## ## Packages which can be installed in different versions at the same time. ## ## Packages are selected either by name, or by provides. In the later case ## the string must start with "provides:" immediately followed by the capability. ## ## Example: ## kernel - just packages whith name 'kernel' ## provides:multiversion(kernel) - all packages providing 'multiversion(kernel)' ## (kenel and kmp packages should do this) ## Valid values: ## Comma separated list of packages. ## ## Default value: ## empty ## multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) 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. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
