Hi, During routine system update (OS12.3, 64-bit) by yast a couple of weeks ago something happened either during kernel update (3.7.10.-1.36-desktop) or nvidia driver update and the system is not bootable anymore. I can boot two other systems on the same HD (12.2 and 13.1). artition of 12.3 seems OK when I mount it from another system. When I attempt to boot 12.3 (no matter what option), (I even tried adding debug options for kernel) I see that initrd "boot" scripts are executed (11-block, 82-resume.kernel and so on) but the following error message is displayed a number of times: udevadm: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory. After some time I see the message: Could not find /dev/root Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/xxxxx (Y/n) and at this point only "three finger salute" works I see that libz.so.1 is present in /usr/local/ilb in initrd filesystem. I even tried loading the rescue system and updated the kernel to 3.7.10-1.40, so initrd has been re-created, but the result is the same. Any advice on how to recover the system / investigate the failure?
