Kernel 2.6.31-8 Strange boot messages

Hi All,

I am meeting some problems on my opensuse 11.2 system in the last week, I see an higher load on CPU and the system seems to swap a lot of time.
Checking on dmesg I found that at boot time I have a lot of errors: I paste a little part of the full log at the end of this post

If I am not wrong I have found and installed an official opensuse 11.2 kernel update through zypper some days ago
Moreover, actually I am not able to use yast package manager because it seems to crash during repositories refresh (or just after it)

Has someone any idea? :’(

Yeah me too. But doesn’t seem to hurt anything later, unlike you, but maybe it’s because I have lots of RAM. Sorry, no idea but I’d like to know too. Maybe search Novell’s bugzilla and if not found, file a bug? Thanks.

I found a lot of bugs opened on opensuse novell bugzilla, and I have just added my comment.

Unfortunately I can’t use yast to try kernel downgrade.

It seems to crash as reported in the first post
