At boot time with my Desktop 11.4 I get following error message after which the width of my screen becomes a little bit smaller (1.5 cm) and halts. The error message is as follows: doing fast boot [Creating device nodes with udev udev[76]: can not read '/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules' And the boot process stops. Googling did not help me much apart from learning a lot about udev and finding a SuSE bug report [679083] which was in the meantime closed with the information that work was done to not write this error message in a newer version and the info that the writer did not know what caused the bug. I still get the error at booting and the booting process stops there and then. I can boot with the failsafe but would like to get rid of this problem. Do not know which part of the failsafe overcomes the problem. The proposal to delete above empty file did not help too because even without this file, at booting the same error message is shown. Apart from a bug report to bugzilla, has somebody any idea what is causing my problem? My 11.4 is zypper dup-ped up to yesterday. A reinstall of udev did not solve the problem. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.39-31-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.3 (4.6.3) 12:26pm up 11:28, 3 users, load average: 3.21, 2.07, 1.23 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
