OpenSUSE Install :: Unable To Boot After Updating The Kernel

Oct 4, 2010

Yesterday I updated openSuse 11.3 on my laptop. Kernel update from 2.6.34.4-0.1... to 2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop was included. Yast performed fine and at the end it stated to reboot for using the new Kernel. So I did, but what a bad surprise!! Normally the Grub menu should have been updated, but not this time. Fortunately I know how to handle this, but not all users will be able to resolve this problem, so here's what to do if this happens to you: You will run into the Text console saying: Press any button to continue... Before doing this write down on a piece of paper the text lines visible on the screen, starting with:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi....... resume=/dev/disk........

or whatever it reads for your system. You will need this info to edit the menu and succeed to boot. Now press any key and you will get the Grub menu. The standard option will be highlighted. press "e" to edit that option. Next you will see the Grub menu lines

First press key "o" to add a new line, select it by arrow down, press "e" to edit the line. (In my case it was not possible to edit the full original line, but only the added options like vag=0x317) Enter the line you wrote down, but change the kernel's version number to the new one Should look similar like:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi.......

(it works if you only use the part before "resume=/dev/disk....") After finishing hit Enter and you will turn bach to the Grub menu lines. Now move with the up/down arrow key to the old line, press "d" to remove the old line. Next move to the line with "initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop", press "e" and edit the line so that it reads: initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop press Enter to move back to the Grub menu lines. Now press "b" to boot. After booting log in, open your file manager as root, browse to /boot/grub and open the menu.lst file to edit and change the kernel old version numbers to the new one. Save it and next time it your machine will boot normally again.

Fedora Installation :: Cannot Boot Into F10 After Updating From F9

I recently upgraded Fedora 9 to Fedora 10 on a triple boot system (Fedora 9, Win XP and Ubuntu 8.04). The upgrade seemed to run fine until rewriting the boot loader, which failed. The old Fedora 9 entries remained. The Fedora 10 installation is found by Supergrub but attempting to boot generates the error:

Fedora Installation :: Xen-kernel - Unable To Boot In Normal Kernel

Feb 11, 2010

I use a pretty fresh installed RHEL 5.4, which should be very similar to Fedora. After the basic installation I installed xen and xen-kernel via yum with no errors. I can select the xen-kernel at boot time. But after booting the normal kernel shows up.

[root@noname boot]# uname -r
2.6.18-164.11.1.el5

My /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like:

default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

[code]....

I can't see anything wrong and I did not change/try anything.

Debian Configuration :: Kernel Not Updating To 3.16

Jul 26, 2015

Upgraded Wheezy to Jessie, by changing my apt sources to point at stable instead of wheezy. Ran upgrade, and dist-upgrade, all fine etc.

Then tried to update the kernel by installing linux-image-amd64 package .. seemed to work fine, but after a reboot my kernel version still says 3.10.23

What have I missed?

Code: Select allroot@hostname:~# apt-cache search linux-image
linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64 - Header files for Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64

General :: Kernel Panic After Updating 2.6.37-r4

May 3, 2011

I use gentoo linux and some minutes ago I thought to upgrade my kernel version. I had 2.6.36-r5 and I want to set 2.6.37-r4. After merging gentoo-sources I did this:

# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
# make && make modules_install
# mount /boot
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.37-gentoo-r4
# module-rebuild populate
# module-rebuild rebuild

At the end I changed the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. The last two commands are for reinstall modules that are not included in the kernel source. After rebooting the system this is what it printed out and stop loading.

sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk

Debian :: Updating The Kernel Without An Internet Connection?

May 19, 2011

I recently installed Debian "Squeeze" onto a Thinkpad T420, alongside Windows 7. During the installation Debian was unable to detect my NIC (Intel 82579LM), but otherwise the installation completed normally. I've installed the required e1000e drivers, and added "alias eth0 e1000e" to the modules file. Using lspci I can see that the computer detects the card, but still fails to load the drivers for it.

I'm at a bit of a loss, as this is my first time using Linux. After a bit of searching it looks like the 2.6.38 kernel resolves the issue with this card, so I guess that's my next step.Unfortunately all the installation instructions I've found assume an internet connection.Is there a simple way to update the kernel without a connection, or -even better- an install disc with 2.6.38 so I can start from scratch?

General :: CentOS 5.3 - Updating To Next Kernel Version

Feb 7, 2010

I have just downloaded CentOS 5.3. The kernel version is 2.6.18.xx However, when I updated the kernel version has not changed. Still 2.6.18. Unless something went wrong with the updates. The most up to date kernel is 2.6.31.xx I was thinking shouldn't it update to this new kernel? On my Fedora 12 I have 2.6.31. However, I thought the kernel of 2.6.18 would have been updated as least a little.

Software :: Updating Kernel Without Compiling From Source?

Feb 18, 2011

I am running a Fedora 13 x64 . The latest kernel I get is 2.6.34.8 in testing from yumex. However I want to install 2.6.37 How do I do it, without compiling from the source (which I think is beyond my scope at this point). I am more concerned with this because I am planning to get LMDE for my notebook but I came to know that it runs 2.6.32 kernel, so would I be able to update it? There's also the Liquorix kernel that I have read about, with many people saying that its better for daily usage scenarios--is that true, and is there some major difference in code?

CentOS 5 :: Updating Kernel And Installing VirtualBox

Oct 28, 2010

I updated my system to the latest version - 5.5. After that I could not install VirtualBox. I was thinking, trying to fix, googling... it over for hours... Finally I found the reason. VirtualBox installer searches for the source kernel at /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.17.4.el5/build, and it can not. Look into /lib/modules, I have some kernels such as:

- 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5
- 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5debug
- 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5xen
... and more old ones.

At that time, I booted on 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5 kernel. But inside that directory, there is no build or source (directory/ file). Then I looked into 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5debug, and it had. So I typed: ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.17.4.el5debug/build /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.17.4.el5/build

Debian Configuration :: Warning Removing Or Updating Kernel Without GDM

Jun 12, 2011

I am an old Debian user, ho just reinstalled it again to see how it evolved since my las version (3.2). I am sharing it with Arch Linux, And decided to let bot of them. I am using GDM compiled and configured in Arch, and removed GDM2 from Debian (i just like the easy menu.list from the old GDM). The problem is that when i update the kernel, it didn't fing GDM and drops an error message. I tried removing the distro-preconfigured Kernels, as i compiled my own 3.0.0-rc2 Kerenel, but i cant delete the previous ones. Now everytime i do an install or uptgrade, apt-get drops wastes some time, and drops an error message:

[code]...

What can i do? i googled some similar errors, but where just messed up mirror.lists, or similar, i know it isnt the cause of fail.

Software :: Online Updating SuSE - Kernel Rpm Could Not Be Installed

Apr 9, 2010

There was a kernel update included in my last three attempts of online updating SuSE 11.2 -- all of which which ended with an error, something like kernel rpm could not be installed (one can't copy that out of the YAST-window ).

The new kernel-relevant directories are there under /boot, the original 2.6.31.5 is gone. This produced lots of errors during the next boot until I manually re-assigned links in /lib/modules pointing to the new kernels. "uname -a" shows my old kernel (see also this thread: [url].

I ran "rpm --rebuilddb" and re-tried the installation, all to no avail.

In the message box during install came about 1,5 MB of errors, a brief extract is shown below:

Code:

Any ideas how to proceed? Can one delete the rpm database and rebuild it from the online repositories?

Ubuntu Installation :: Removing Previous Versions After Updating Kernel?

Sep 12, 2010

I have looked for existing threads on this issue, but found no matches, so I am starting a new one.I first installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop from a bought CD last year. When I later installed the kernel updtates with the Update Manager, I noticed the the list of versions growing when I booted up. Then something horrible happened. After installing maybe the third or fourth kernel update, I couldn't boot into Ubuntu, it failed every time. After that I left Ubuntu broken on my laptop for a while.I have now reinstalled from the CD again However, I am now very wary when it comes to installing even the important security updates, never mind the recommended ones! I prefer to keep it simple, because I don't want to do any more reinstalls for a while. So far I have just one kernel headers update on the boot list, and I am trying to figure out how to remove the previous one. I do not see the point in having a growing list of them again.

Ubuntu Installation :: Restricted Modules Not Updating With Latest Kernel Updates Lucid 10.04

May 8, 2010

I have noticed in the recent updates there is a Kernel update 2.6.32-22 but there is no restricted modules included. On my Desktop I have a Nvidia card which I installed the driver using the Hardware Drivers Application. As far as I know these Drivers are ether reinstalled or updated whenever there is a kernel update.

I also have a Laptop with a ATI Radeon card which I did run the updates and ended up (after the reboot) in low graphics mode, after a bit of work I was able to reinstall the drivers and get my desktop back so that's ok now.

I had this problem a few years ago with an old version of Ubuntu, kernel updates but no restricted drivers. The drivers turned up the next day and all was fine. I was just wandering if this is a known issue with Lucid or if anyone else has had this problem, It's been a couple of days since I noticed the Kernel update but still Restricted Modules. Oh I'm using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04
