Hi,
I have tried to ‘rpm -ivh’ the 2.6.34-8 image to the 2.6.31-5 on my Suse 11.2.
Without any luck, rpm goes fine, however at the next bootup, then
udev is about to be initialized, the machine goes down (don’t see
any message).
But if I install the MileStone 7 of 11.3 on the same machine, it works just
fine.
Are there any scripts/howtos I have to follow if I upgrade from 2.6.31 to
2.6.34?
Thanks,
You cannot take the kernel from one distro version and simply bang it in another. There is a repo for the latest kernelpackages:
Index of /repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.2
Mind, like the M& packages, these are regarded experimental, bleeding edge if you want. The repo contains the 2.6.34 kernel, compiled (and patched) for openSUSE 11.2
If you, harsszegi, have place left you may test the newest kernel with a second 11.2 operating system on an other partition. Grub will offer you a choice if you install both kernels parallel in the same o. s. but there may be problems (I had one small even with pae and default installed on the same o. s.).
If I could be so bold may I ask you, harsszegi, what graphic card/graphic solution you use?
Greetings

ok. first of all.
naturally I have used the 11.3 installation DVD for the RPM for the kernel
installation.
Before that I have naturally used the HEAD: version of the repository of 11.2.
NONE of them worked. not even failsafe could get me boot up the new
kernels.
So if anyone can post the proper (I mean tested)
steps to change from 2.6.31 to 2.6.34, that is welcomed.

Hello all,
I was able to do updates and boot kernel 2.6.34-* using the kernel HEAD repo and improvements were impressive. BUT since version 2.6.34-45, my updated kernel does not boot anymore :S
Im running 11.2 64 bits on 2.6.34-44 perfectly. Installed through Yast, using the kernel HEAD repository.
Whats the difference on -44 and -45 ?
Where can I download -44 instead of -45 for i586?
Ok, have tried -46 from HEAD as well, doesn’t work either, the machine
freezes when udev configures the devices
f*ck. The problem was caused by the new radeon driver within the kernel.
With our Radeon 7000 without the “nomodeset” kernel option the kernel
freezes. If I use the “nomodeset” everything works just fine, including
using 11.2 with 2.6.34-8
What version of the opensource radeon are you using?
Latest one is 6.13.0
Do “man radeon” on konsole and then go to the end of it, it should say.
I’m confused,
The VGA is (onboard):

Then
f*ck. The problem was caused by the new radeon driver within the kernel.

What do you mean? You are using radeon, not intel then?
I am using dual-head config
The latest I am using and again I had to tweak the KERNEL parameter, not
the xorg.conf options to be able to boot (naturally), so it is strictly kernel
related.
hello there,
my machine encountered system hang after i select the Desstop option in grub. as far as i recall, i just used the automatic update of the application. after rebooting the laptop, it freezes (i just forgot the exact error message). i’ll post it later…
but if i select Failsafe option in GRUB, i can login to the machine… also if i do read the contents of the dmesg, i cannot see the entry that might be cause of the hang… any ideas?
Ok did you change the kernel?? If not you should start a new thread you have a different problem.
hello,
thanks for the reply. as far as i know, i haven’t done any kernel update. i want to ask if there is a log file or history to verify if an upgrade of the kernel has been done in my machine without me knowing?
i’ll start a new thread as per your advise.
many thanks.
