Hi again! I asked you before how to install SuSE 7.2 from the net, thank you all for your answers! Now is the situation as followed; We have succesfully installed a minimal SuSe 7.1 from CD's. (But it took som time for us to realize that the system didn't hang after reboot, you just have to press alt+F1 to se the textversion of yast2, cause we didn't install X...) Anyway. Now we want 7.2 or at least the latest versions of Apache, PHP4, MySQL and Jakarta. So we tried to run yast2 and chose "Software / System Update" and as source we chose the correct directory at ftp.sunet.se. We couldn't update the system while running it, we had to restart with the CD and then start over. Ok, that's fine. We selected all the packages we wanted to update and everything seemed to update ok. Then we were told to choose a new kernel. Ok. But after an reboot there was an Kernel panic : Unable to mount root. (Apparently the SCSI-drives were not loaded in the new kernel...) Then we tried a new approach. We reinstalled 7.1 minimal. Then we downloaded some RPM's from the 7.2-directory at ftp.sunet.se. We were able to succesfully upgrade Apache to version 1.3.19, but then PHP4 stopped working... And when we tried to run the mod_php4.rpm it didn't work cause it wanted some zillion other RPM's - unclear which one's... So, no we are stuck. We are satisfied running 7.1 and the 2.4 kernel that comes with it, an upgrade to 7.2 is not that important. But we want to upgrade Apache, PHP4, MySQL and Jakarta to the latest versions. HOW? Please help! Thanks in advance... Micke

The SCSI drivers are not compiled into the kernel but have to be loaded from the initial ramdisk aka initrd. First check that INITRD_MODULES in /etc/rc.config lists the needed SCSI driver. If not, add it. Then run mk_initrd which will create the initrd and then call lilo which has to record the position of the initrd on the disk. Next time you boot all should go well.

Get the source RPM and check the lines #neededforbuild and #usedforbuild. At least the packages in #neededforbuild have to be installed.

Get the source RPMs for 7.2 and create binary packages via 'rpm -bb'. Philipp -- Penguins to save the dinosaurs -- Handelsblatt on Linux for S/390
Hi again! I am afraid it didn't work out... I upgraded to 7.2, rebooted from the CD, started yast1, loaded the SCSI-drives, then booted the new Linux-kernel. Yast did run some scripts, I checked /etc/rc.config and run mk_initrd and everything looked ok. BUT, after a reboot, same thing: Loading module aic7xxx... insmod: aic7xxx: no module by that name found VFS: Cannot open root device Kernel panic What shall I do?! Where shall I change? Getting desperate... Micke On måndag, oktober 1, 2001, at 08:53 , Philipp Thomas wrote:
