hi everyone, have been happy using 9.1 pro since robert fisher provided
the cd's for me a couple of months ago (after a failed gentoo install -
my computer ineptitude i think). anyway last week decided i would try
updating via yast any patches available (all had been working fine until
then). as i live out at oxford & only have 56k modem i did "partial
updates" on patches available to keep d/l's to a reasonable size for
overnight d/l. anyway all went well (including yast patches themselves)
& appeared that all installed ok as i had several reboots after each
d/l. final patch d/l was updated kernel (can't remember what version it
was now) & when trying to boot suse it hangs after apparently going
through most of the boot process & hangs after "starting cron
starting capisuite "
appear on screen during boot.
any help appreciated as to where i have gone wrong & how to get suse
back up and running as i was pretty impressed with it up until the
weekend. btw i do have a knoppix cd so can actually access partitions
affected...i think
at the moment stuck back in winxp for mail :)
thanks,
howard blomfield
