Hello all: I have a problem booting Suse 9.3 After a normal rebooting of the computer Suse 9.3 can't boot normally anymore. The boot process is very slow and many boot message complain that can't change files on the root filesystem since the filesystem is read-only. Because of this KDE session can't start either. I have booted from the installation CD in rescue mode and run a fsck on the root filesystem's device. fsck sad that the filesystem was clean. 9.3 still can not boot normally. The root filesystem is 10GB big and 650 MB is free. What should I check, how could I fix this problem? Thanks, IG _______________________________________________________________________ KGFB 2006 - Garantáltan a legjobb ár! Nyerje meg az új Swiftet + garantált 10,000,- Ft értékű ajándék.

Can you boot from the CD and get the installed system to load? If so, you may want to try doing an "upgrade" that will revert your system to the 9.3 CD version. But before you do that, assuming you can boot from the CD, take a look around and see if you can find what the problem is. And the obvious question: what have you changed recently? It can sometimes happen that the /usr/src/linux is pointing to the wrong version of modules. Do an `ls -l /usr/src' and a `uname -a' The versions should match. Steven

Do you have postfix chrooted? I ran into this when I upgraded our server recently (and never experienced it on my machine at home), but since the server was fully updated, it must be a bug... If postfix is chrooted, check /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.postfix, find the line where it mounts /var/spool/postfix/proc ro and change to rw, or remove the -o ro altogether.

I'm not on my Suse 9.3, but I'm pretty sure that there's a /var/log/boot.log you could look at. hth, ken
