Hi Eric, On my 9.2 P-III dual sys I recovered the sys with the use of install DVD1 >install > repair >automatic repair. Allow it to repair 'booting'. Then I had to goto /usr/src/linux and issue as root 'make cloneconfig' , then you must remove and then re-install the nvidia drivers. There may still be some voodoo needed; I don't completely understand the nvidia driver process yet! Marcus Meissner od SUSE wrote this this morning: after the YOU kernel install, before re-booting, he requests you to do: "In a running system, run "mkinitrd" as root. This will restore the symlink. Check with ls -l /boot/initrd that it points to a initrd-2.6.8-24.10-xxxx where xxxx is default, smp or bigsmp. For nonbooting systems, boot a rescue system, mount the installed system, chroot into it, and run "/sbin/mkinitrd" which should restore the symlink there. (Or just use ln -s with the correct paths.) Ciao, Marcus I take this to mean that the YOU patch was erroniously forgetting to do the LINK of the new initrd-2.6.8-24.10-default (or whatever is right) to initrd. PeterB p.s. If anyone has gotten a working sys w/o re-doing the nvidia stuff, please let us know -- -- Proud SUSE user since 5.2 Loving SUSE 9.2 My BLOG == http://vancampen.org/blog --
