Is the file system full? Can you create the directory by hand? mkinitrd is a shell script, you might want to check what's going wrong.

I did go through the file and found the problem in /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/setup-splashy.sh I dont know if it is a bug, but if it did not find /usr/sbin/resume it would exit. It would not remove the first temp directory, thus the error for the existing directory. I was able to resolve the issue by installing suspend. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Please file a bug via bugs.opensuse.org so that we can fix this for the future.
