Help 10.3 a mess After YOU Upgrade
in [Suse]
|
From: PaulRS on 23 Jan 2008 13:04 I have a new 10.3 retail installation I also ran YOU (online upgrade including the Kernel) -= I rebooted afterwards as directed. Now - no sound (Kmix is not to be found) - no ethernet In looking at the boot messages there are a series of FATALS at the end where the system is looking to load Kernal modules - BUT it is looking for modules with the original (old) Kernel numbers. The directory no longer exists - only the new /lib/modules/new kernel numbers. Whats UP? I can reinstall the whole thing, but what do you recommend? Paul --

Might it be that you still have the old kerenl as default boot option in /boot/grub/menu.lst? Kind regards, Jan Gerrit

Then you can avoid the seldom occurring but much hated incomplete kernel upgrade. This shouldn't be necessary but sometimes things don't go as you hope... In the mean time you can boot to the CD / DVD and run the repair option to get back the original kernel. Then boot into your system and upgrade the kernel again being sure to do as I mentioned above..... mkinitrd && SuSEconfig !!! 'mkinitrd && SuSEconfig' is your friend..........

The "Reboot after YOU" said something like modules would be built so system would work correctly. The directory /lib/kernel is present so I assume I am running the new kernel, maybe not - it is looking for the original (retail-CD) kernel modules and the directory with that number is gone. --
