Edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and add "splash=verbose" to the kernel boot options, instead of "splash=silent"

Great stuff many thanks, Carlos.

I can now see the problem: Comreset failed (errorno 960 or 976)

Good!

And I have found the patch but I have no idea what to do with it:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331610 (discussion) https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=179146 (patch)

Looks like a script to me so it must go into some sort of boot file somewhere for the kernel to use. Any ideas?

No, it is not an script. A patch is a file with "differences". Applying the patch to the relevant file (one of the kernel source files, I think) changes that file to the new version, ie, it applies the differences. After that, you would need to recompile the kernel. Which is impossible if you can't boot. But I can't give you more specifics, it's the first time I read about this problem, nor am I a kernel expert... - -- Saludos Carlos E.R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFHUAm0tTMYHG2NR9URAmtMAJ9De3axJeVONili27Z1CiOvePla+gCgj5qi q1z8OZl2KWQcMLKWC7ZH5lE= =vhkg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
