Hi all,
Two days ago, at work, i upgraded a IBM-notebook that was installed with
the 10.2-dvd. That particular machines was allways left non-connected,
so when it was connected to the out-side world it discoverd that about
120 patches were available. After some time (ahum) most patches were
installed (except the java-patches, that failed).
Next day i booted the system, but it hang during startup, without any
clear indication where of why (one time during ntfs, next time during
wireless-setup, each time somewhere else.
Fearing the worst, i let it run memtest for several hours, nothing came
up. Booted the "other" OS; disk check, nothing wrong.
Booted in resque mode from dvd, and performed filesystem check, nothing
wrong. But still could not boot any more. Still system frooze stiff.
AFAIK, there was no kernel-patch and the initrd was left unchanged
before/after the upgrade.
Because i had work to do, i re-installed the notebook again, hooked it
up the net and had a suspicious look at the patches.
As one of the patches involved lvm (which i allways use), I decided to
install all, except lvm (and java that still failed to install)
Installation and upgrade went well, untill the boot
Is this an isolated incident, or is it something for bugzilla?

There is something strange going on. A few guys I know, long time SuSE
users with good experience, tell me of problems they have with 10.2 on
PC's and notebooks. Each and every new install or upgrade of PC's and
Notebooks I've done has been flawless. All patches have gone on and up
to yesterday I did a YOU on the x86_64 laptop and it's fine.
I can only suggest you test with boot option "acpi=off" to see if that
helps, could be kernel related.
Regards
Sid.
