I upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3. During the upgrade, 10.3 aborted during the making of the initial ram disk /boot/initrd* (it got some kind of udev error). All my kernels are there but I have NO ram disks, hence I can't boot. When I tried booting off the kernel without an initrd, it says it can't find the root partition (I believe it needs the via82cxxx device driver because the root=/dev/sda2 option to grub doesn't work). To fix this I tried
1. Booting off SUSE 10.3 disk using automatic repair - This didn't work and it added a line to my /etc/fstab I had to remove using a rescue disk. 2. Booting into SUSE 10.3 rescue mode - I can't use mkinitrd to create a RAM disk here because the correct files aren't in the right places in rescue mode to make a RAM disk image. Also, When I boot in rescue mode, the rescue mode kernel is 2.6.22.5-23 and my on disk kernel is 2.6.22.5-31. 3. Recompiling the kernel with the drivers built in - I'd love to do this, but my kernel source is on an LVM volume. I did a "vgscan --mknodes" and it finds my volume and partitions but it doesn't create the devices in /dev. How do I get it to create the devices files in /dev?
Will recompiling the kernel with the appropriate drivers built in fix the problem or do I need a RAM disk? Thanks. Scott
Try editing the grub line. root=/dev/sda2 root (hd0,2) check your device.map in /boot/grub directory and make sure it has an entry somelike (hd0) /dev/sda Hope that helps. Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
