OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 - Unable To Boot Xen Kernel

Nov 9, 2010

I am unable to boot the xen kernel but can boot the desktop kernel. The machine boots and the last message I see is:
(Xen) Created cpupool 0 with Scheduler SMP Credit Scheduler (Credit)

After this the screen just turns into a random mess. It looks like graphics memory is pointing at a area of memory filled with random data. The computer actually boots but the display is unusable and the keyboard fails (num lock doesn't work). I can cleanly halt by pressing the power button and waiting for disk activity to stop. After reading several other threads I've tried various combinations of vga=mode-0x0f00 and nomodeset but the result is always the same. I've set the vga mode to 0x0f00 as I actually get to see up to the "Created cpupool...." in this mode. The system boots without any issues with opensuse 11.2.

I'm using a gigabyte GA-Q35M motherboard and the output from lspci is:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express DRAM Controller (rev 02)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

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.

OpenSUSE Install :: Unable To Login In 11.2 Using Own Kernel

Dec 10, 2009

Using the defaukt x86_64 kernel openSuSE 11.2 (uograded from 11.1) works fine.

I have compiled my own kernel using the 11.1 config with minor changes. Botting runs fine and looking at the boot.msg compared between the default and my own kernel I only see preloadtrace.ko module missing on my own kernel which I would not expect causing mthe problem.

After the boot I am unable to login on the X login screen, text console or ssh.

The X login hangs after I entered username/password. Th elogin box disaapears and the backgroundscreen remains.

On the text console (after stopping xwindows via CTRL-Backspace) I can enter the username but the password prompt will not appear.

On ssh, where I login via plublic key I will get a message that the key will be used for login and then the session hangs as well.

OpenSUSE Install :: Unable To Handle Kernel Paging Request At Ffffc90010b8000?

Aug 3, 2010

I've been trying to install Opensuse 11.3 from the Kde live cd, but the installation hangs when I'm almost done. Right at the beginning the installation is interrupted right with text that among other things says:

Bug: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc90010b8000. After a while though, the installation picks up and continues by itself. I'm then able to complete the necessary steps and I reboot the system so that it can complete the installation.

After reboot there is a new text message that says that the bios does not support EEC memory or something to that effect and then continues with the installation. When it has completed 82% of the autoconfiguration the installation just stops and stays that way.

I've had no problem installing previous releases, from 10.2 up to 11.2, on the same machine.

I've checked md5 sum and also checked the media before proceeding with the installation.

Upon reboot after the first installation step, I also tried the failsafe mode but got the same result.

OpenSUSE Install :: Unable To Compile Working Kernel In 11.4 (Thinkpad X301)?

Apr 25, 2011

This is completely baffling me..I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X301, which has been running OpenSUSE 11.1 for a while, with vanilla kernels from kernel.org, built and installed in the standard (i.e. not SUSE) way.

A week ago, I dupped to 11.2, and also installed kernel 2.6.38.4 . This was compiled with the gcc-4.3 available under 11.2. Everything worked fine (after the necessary messing around to get X working again).

This weekend, I dupped to 11.4 (via 11.3, of course). After more messing around to get X working again, things were working ok - using the same 2.6.38.4 kernel I'd built under 11.2. I then re-built the kernel. It appears to compile and install ok, and I haven't changed the configuration or the grub configuration. However, it doesn't load. Normally, I just get a blank screen after grub starts it loading. If I boot in basic VGA mode 0, then I get a few lines of messages before it hangs - it hangs complaining about APIC not connected to io bios, and if I boot noapic, it gets a few lines further before hanging after some message I don't know about (allocating 4 HET). I don't suppose that's relevant, anyway.

I've tried three different gcc versions, and two different linux versions (2.31 as well), and the same thing happens. This sounds like something going badly wrong with ld or as or something - but I don't see how anything could have happened that wouldn't have been noticed by thousands of others.

OpenSUSE Install :: Kernel 2.6.37 Won't Boot?

Jan 25, 2011

I received a kernel update a few days ago. When I try to boot with kernel 2.6.37, I get a few errors saying that a volume couldn't be mounted and that /lib/modules/2.6.37-desktop/modules.dep couldn't be found. I'm then left with a minimal terminal prompt.

Is this a common problem? If not, I'll try to take a picture of the error so that you can see exactly what happened. I can still boot with kernel 2.6.34 like I could before the update.

OpenSUSE Install :: Grub Boot / Unable To Change The Boot Records On The Drive?

Aug 18, 2010

Dual Booting my laptop and unable to change the Boot Records on the drive. Not because I dont know how, but my primary OS will fail to boot(win7).

I have drive partitioned as follows...
sda1 = Win7 system (default install)
sda2 = Win7 Main (default install)
sda3 = swap
sda4 = Extension (I think thats what its called)
sda5 = / (ext4)

What I need is a boot cd or perferably Grub installed on a 256MB Thumb drive with the options to load the installed system from sda5.

OpenSUSE Install :: Boot Into The Xen Kernel After Initial?

Apr 17, 2010

I'm trying to work with Xen for the first time,if I mess up some of the lingo here or if I don't quite make sense. I've been running openSUSE 11.2 since it first was released, and after an initial problem with my video driver, its been working great. I tried to install Xen today, and after the install appeared to complete successfully, it asked me to reboot and boot into the Xen kernel. When I did this, although the system booted up to the command line, it didn't launch KDE. When I try to start KDE manually it tells me that it "Can't connect to X server".

This seems to be roughly the same problem I had when I first installed openSUSE but I can't for the life of me remember how in god's name I fixed it.

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

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

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

OpenSUSE Install :: Restoring Kernel Spew On Boot

Sep 29, 2010

I've recently performed a clean upgrade from 11.0 to 11.3 (wipe / partition to ext4, retain /home disk, swap partition etc.) and everything is fine, installed as Gnome distro with KDE3 from repos.Anyway, I've noticed that SuSE will say "doing fast boot" and suspend any console spew until after the kernel has finished with hardware detection and the like. I'd like to be able to see exactly what's happening with the kernel at boot, as I'm quite paranoid and in the event of system failure etc. it would be difficult to view the logs post-boot. Also, my IDE optical drives have a habit of sometimes only being partially detected due to the power line being somewhat intermittent, and I've seen the kernel attempt to re-stablish a link on 11.0, whereas I'd never be able to see that in 11.3 unless I see the console spew, so it would look like the system hanging on "doing fast boot".

Note: I do not want to disable splash=silent, unless spalsh has another option which will give me the desired functionality. I want to have a silent boot, with the option of going verbose with Esc; it's one of the things that I love about SuSE.Oh, and Grub was a nightmare as usual with disk ordering differing at run-time from config file and the total freeze at "loading stage2", so I had to manually fix that. Why does the installer seemingly ignore or revert the specific options I set for GRUB? I understand that the default options for GRUB are ok for single disk users, but my disk ordering is not overly exotic. I stress that this was not user error, as I've had the same issue from going from 10.2 to 10.3 to 11.0, even though they were clean grub installs (rewrites). /rant.

OpenSUSE Install :: XEN Kernel Wont Boot With GeForce 9600 GT

Nov 29, 2009

I installed Opesuse 11.2 and I manged to install the Nvidia driver and it works fine. Then I enabled the Compiz and it works fine. During the Opensuse 11.2 installation I installed the XEN becuase I wanted to run multipile XEN guest, I have Nividi GeForce 9600 GT and I have 8 G of RAM and 1.5 TB.

When I decided to boot from XEN mode, it do not boot and it went to the terminal, I logged in I tried to install the Nivid driver in XEN mood and I wan in the init 3, it says:

The NVIDIA driver does not currently work on Xen kernels. If you are using a stock distribution kernel, please install a variant of this kernel without Xen support; if this is a
custom kernel, please install a standard Linux kernel. Then try installing the NVIDIA kernel module again.

I tried with the following Nvidia Driver;

After installing the above driver in normal kernel (non XEN kernel), it works fine but as soon as I boot to the XEN mode it just goes the terminal.

It must be some wrong with my installation or is there any patch for that.

OpenSUSE Install :: After Kernel Update No Ext4 Support At Boot Time

Apr 20, 2010

telling me if this behavior of my openSuSE 11.2 installation is normal? I use a 64-Bit openSuSE 11.2 with kernel 2.6.31.x with root partition ext4. After adding and updating from repository kernel:/HEAD/etc to 2.6.34-rc4 I can not boot anymore due to a lack of module ext4. I thought today ext4 is stable and fix built-in in the actual kernel releases, isn't it? The error message at boot time: FATAL: Module ext4 not found. Which is right because in /lib/modules/<kernelversion>/kernel/ there is NO 'fs' subfolder. Isn't the kernel:/HEAD/ repository the official update path to get a newer major kernel? (besides openSuSE's Updates for security reasons) Do you know how I can fix it without self-compiling?

OpenSUSE Install :: Kernel Not Found On Dual Boot System After Zypper Dup

Mar 14, 2011

I have a dual boot laptop with OpenSUSE and Ubuntu. The boot loader used is Ubuntus Grub that came with the Ubuntu installation.

I have done a zypper dup and upgraded to OpenSUSE 11.4. When I reboot my system I can no longer boot into OpenSUSE, Grub says something about a missing kernel.

I think I understand whats wrong here; the OpenSUSE entry in Grubs table hasn't been updated with the changes brought in by the zypper dup (new kernel i guess).

I'm I correct to assume this? How do I fix the problem? Booting into Ubuntu I tried to find /boot/grub/menu.lst to examine it by I cannot find it. I know Ubuntu use a newer version of Grub, does it have a different file layout?

OpenSUSE Install :: Unable To Boot When No Monitor Is Attached

May 14, 2010

I can''t make the machine booth when a monitor is NOT attached to the machine. The PC seems to get past the P.O.S.T with minimal HDD activity, and then it simply hangs there, doing nothing. I know Linux is not booted because the HDD flashes briefly only 3-4 times and then absolutely nothing. When a monitor is attached, everything works perfectly.

I read somewhere that this happend when GRUB tries to display graphics, so I edited the menu.lst and removed the graphics line within it, which causes GRUB to display a B/W clear-text boot-menu (when a monitor is attached), but the machine still won't boot with no monitor. I also edited inittab to boot to level 3, same outcome.

OpenSUSE Install :: Unable To Boot LiveCD From USB On Netbook

May 15, 2010

I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook. Everytime I try to "burn" the live 11.2 GNOME CD to an USB drive (1GB) it fails on boot. I've tried unetbootin, the application from pendrivelinux.com as well. When it boots, it usually can't find the image. So I have to type in the name of the image by hand then press enter. I actually type the below in:

boot: openSUSE_Linux_(GNOME)

So it starts loading the image in text mode. I don't mind this, except it stops when it tries probing for the CD/DVD ROM.

rebootException failed to detect CD/DVD or USB drive

It just stops pass there. I've tried to add in the options acpi=off, but do I add it in before or after I enter in the image name? BTW, it doesn't boot in my laptop either.
