I'm assuming you updated to the 2.6.x series...If you you are not alone. Your options: Asumming you left the old kernel/modules intact, is to revert to the old one by booting with the emergency CD, then mounting the root partition such that fdisk /dev/hd[a-z] /mnt/[somewhere]
Then editing lilo.conf such that vi /path/to/lilo.conf (i.e /etc/lilo.conf)
image = /boot/vmlinuz-ide-2.4.xx
root = /dev/hd[a-z]
label = Tux[Any label you want]
read-only
then run lilo such that
lilo -v
umount the root partition [umount /mnt] & reboot
If you don't have the old kernel, copy the one on the CD and update
lilo.conf just the same
(BTW) I assume you're using lilo as the bootloader...

Hi all,
I'm experiencing the same issue as this OP listed here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&forumid=60&threadid=308072
I'm running SuSE 9.2 on 2 laptops and have upgraded the kernel via YaST as per "auto update". I also use apt4rpm for SuSE and updated the mkinitrd package via the "suse-people" repository.
Now, the apt4rpm SuSE mailing list mentioned that this was a terribly daft thing to do, but this is the first time I've been "bitten" like this by using this repository.
Anyway, when either of my laptops try to boot now, the following occurs which I originally thought was a devfs problem:
"Waiting for device /dev/hda3 to appear: .....not found -- exiting to /bin/sh
sh: can`t access tty: job control turned off"This then dumps be to a bash shell and I'm dead in the water�would I be right in assuming that it's unable to load the reiserfs module? If so (or not) how do I fix?
Can I easily remedy this? I'm leaning toward knoppix on one laptop to "fix" the issue, but the other laptop only has a floppy drive available to it.
Argh�insights? Take this as a warning if any of you are in a similar situation. ;-)
Ah well, live and learn.
Cheers!
Chris Wallace
