OpenSUSE Install :: Boot Error Following Upgrade To 11.4?
May 7, 2011
I upgraded to OpenSuse 11.4, and I am getting the following error message on boot:fsck.ext3 -a -c0 /dev/sdb2Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb2The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid andreally contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then superblock is corrupt and might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 183 <device>
fsck failed. Mounting root device read only.

Upgraded from 11.1 to 11.2 using GUI (YaST and Wagon)
Machine stops on boot and says:
fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write do: bash# mount -n -o remount, rw /
Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this maintenance mode. shutdown or reboot will not work.
Give root password for login:
I write: mount -n -o remount,rw /
And then reboot with CONTROL-D.

I had a working setup of opensuse 11.0, dual booting using grub installed on the home partition. I tried to install 11.3 from the coverdisc of linux format (LXFDVD136). It took 5 goes before the install succeeded. Mostly stopping at the "boot installed system" stage. I put 11.3 on a formatted partition in the same place as 11.0, and put grub there too.
The system will not boot without assistance. I have to use a supergrub disc and tell it which partition to boot. If I use boot linux from supergrub I get the Grub error message 15 file not found. Supergrub CAN find windows and it boots with the win command. Automatic and yast initiated attempts to check for software upgrades are blocked by the application with pid 4587.

I tried to install 11.3 on my acer aspire 7530 notebook to have dual boot with xp.
I made 4 partitions: one for xp, and the three for linux were made automatically.Before installation I got the warning that the partition wasn't entirely below 128 gb, I installed anyway to give it a try.
The installation froze at 92% and after the laptop wouldn't boot.
Now I've formatted the hard disk and installed windows on a partition leaving a free un formatted partition of 100 gb.

I get following error during automatic patch upgrade of my SuSE 11.2 to latest path revision. I assume it is due to the KDE 4.3.5 Update part of the patch set: compiz-kde4-0.7.8-9.14.x86_64 requires libkdecorations.so.4()(64 bit) but there are no providers. The package manager suggest to replace compiz-kde4-0.7.8-9.14.x86_64 with kwin-4.3.5-0.2.1.x86_64 but I don't want to loose compiz-kde. which repository I must add to resolve the dependency.

I just did an upgrade from 11.1 to 11.2 and can not boot to OpenSUSE any more. That happened when the first reboot was starting after finishing the upgrade from the DVD. I tried to find the issue and use the repair system with no luck yet. Now I get no gfx for grub
The only thing I managed is to add the windows boot section for windows but I can not seem to boot to opensuse. device.map:
Code:
(hd1)/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160815AS_5RA2LTD0
(hd2)/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160815AS_5RA2LQCJ
(hd0)/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6L160P0_L31AHTVG

I just upgraded my OpenSuSE 11.2 system to 11.3 and have experienced the following problem:
My hard drive was encrypted beforehand, and after the upgrade(which went smoothly) will no longer decrypt. I type in my passphrase at the prompt, press enter and the start up process never resumes. I am able to access the filesystem from the Rescue System option in the install disk. What's strange is that this worked smoothly on another laptop of mine.

I was running openSUSE 11.2 on a Dell Studio with a mirrored disk. The upgrade to 11.3 went well it seemed until it got to the point of installing the new bootloader. Then it couldn't mount /boot. Otherwise it seemed to go OK though.It completed and rebooted. I see a very brief flash of the word GRUB on the reboot, but then the screen blanks and I get the BIOS messages again.How can I now install GRUB so that I can boot. I had a similar issue with 11.2 in the past, and was able to repair GRUB using 11.2's DVD's "Repair Installation" which had tools to reinstall GRUB.11.3's DVD is missing this option.I'd prefer not to do a fresh install as then I will have a lot of OS setup to repeat (Samba, Apache, Trac, etc.....)

The situation is too strange to be well summarized in a title-topic. I have performed the upgrade from .2 to .3 editing the repos and launching zypper dup.
The boot loader's choises are:
1)openSUSE 11.3 - 2.6.34-12 (default)
kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34-12-default
ram: /boot/initrd-2.6.34-12-default
root: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi_HTS541680J9SA00_SB2204SGEZ91VE-part1
parameters: resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi_HTS541680J9SA00_SB2204SGEZ91VE-part2 splash=silent quiet showopts

I have just upgraded from 11.1 to 11.4. When I boot up, I get a command line, but when I do 'startx', I get 'Fatal server error: no screens found'. I have been looking for a solution and tried 'Xorg -configure' but this gives:

I could upgrade openSUSE 11.4 on my desktop but when trying to do the same procedure on my girlfriend's laptop, after the zypper update part (and the reboot asked), now we can get it to boot.
After selecting suse from GRUB it shows some code (too fast to be read) then black screen forever. I erased the VGA option before booting and now it gets stuck in
Code:
[0.490266][<c02037a6>] kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10
We don't have any idea of what to do ;__;

I did a fresh install of SuSE 11.4 (WIN7 TOO) and changed my Larger HD1 to the first HD. I was installing and got this error first: the boot loader is installed on a partition that does not lie entirely below 128GB The system might not boot if BIOS supports only lba24 (result is error during install grub mbr) status loc dev/sdb6
I continued with the install and then got:

[minimal bash-like lineediting is supported? for the first word, TAB lists possible command completition anywhere else TAB lists possible completion of a device/filename]

I'm currently running 11.3 and decided I'd try upgrading to 11.4 following the instructions here: SDB:System upgrade - openSUSEUnfortunately, my attempts are defeated at the point of trying to refresh the new repos; I get the following message (for the oss repo, in this case):
Download (curl) error for 'url':
Error code: Connection failed
Error message: Couldn't resolve host 'download.opensuse.org'
With 11.4 replaced by 11.3 in the repo url, it refreshes just fine. The only repository that works when I change 11.3 to 11.4 is the Packman repo. I'm not really sure why the connection fails for 11.4 but not 11.3!
Further info: I have an old router with no IPv6 support, but have IPv6 disabled system-wide. I can enter the url for the repositories into firefox and they come up just fine - it's only with zypper/YaST that I get the above error message.I also tried upgrading using the network CD but ran into the same sort of problem. In this case it may be because the CD installer doesn't disable IPv6. (I didn't want to download the DVD at my connection speed, and the KDE live CD is not listed as suitable for upgrade).

I was about to do upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4.I was following the guide I found in opensuse's website. I was to the point where I had to disable all 11.3 repositories and add the 11.4 at that point I forgot to change my nvidia repository ( I have a g210m graphic card).
thus after the upgrade the X could not start at all. I think this was because Yast could not find the nvidia driver.
Using text mode YaSt2 I added the nvidia driver but after restart I can not see and X running. I receive an error message that the current kernel can not be loaded!!!
I also checked in command line if there is something like Sax2.. but I couldnot find anything.

A few days ago I went to perform the Service Pack 1 Upgrade for Win 7. This crashed out with an error. On researching the problem I found a solution to fix the problem by marking the Windows partition as active. I did this (via Computer Mgmt -> Disk Mgmt). This allowed the SP1 upgrade to work, however on reboot I got an error BOOTMGR missing. This I rather rashly resolved by using the Windows 7 install DVD in Recovery mode to reinstall the Windows Boot manager via bootrec /Fixboot I thought I would then be able to use the Opensuse 11.2 install disk to fix grub.
I use the Opensuse install disk and select Repair system -> Expert Mode -> Install New Boot Loader then select Other -> Reread Configuration from Disk. This adds Win 7 back into the grub menu. I then select OK and get the message "the bootloader was installed successfully". The problem then comes when I click my way through OK and Next to finish the install. At the end of the process I get the message "An error occurred during the installation" and I'm no further forward.
FYI the PC has a single SATA disk installed partitioned as follows:
dev/sda1 100Mb Win System Parkition
dev/sda2 Windows NTFS
dev/sda3 Windows FAT

Trying to get an OpenSuse Live KDE to boot from a USB Key and I'm getting error 17 messages. I get no Grub boot screen or access to any of the grub functions so I'm stuck. BIOS has been changed to allow booting from USB so no issue there. If I remove the USB key and boot from HDD I have no problems dual booting either Linux or Windows using Grub.

I resized my windows c drive to make another drive which also has Open SUSE 11.4 dual booting which was working fine.
After reboot I get missing operating system so I boot the live Opensuse DVD and the windows and Linux is still there so I tried the boot configure tool in YAST but get the error because of partitioning the boot loader cannot be installed properly
Can I make a boot floppy somehow? I now have a grub menu when it boot sup but do not know what to do now

Using 11.4 I noticed a couple of messages I have not seen before:-
Code:
<5>[ 14.485094] thinkpad_acpi: setting the hotkey mask to 0x00ffffff is likely not the best way to go about it
<5>[ 14.485098] thinkpad_acpi: please consider using the driver defaults, and refer to up-to-date thinkpad-acpi documentation
My machine is a TP T42 but should I try and od anything about this message or just ignore it?

A few days ago I decided to ditch Windows for good. I read for hours about a Linux distro and settled on OpenSUSE.
I just need to say one thing. Linux is not for the feint of heart, and everywhere I turn (forums), I see computers riddled with error messages, frustrated people, and the list goes on.
I'm willing to work through this though since I feel that the benefits will outweigh anything that Microsoft can offer, so here goes.
Upon installing the new build of OpenSUSE, I encountered an error message that was fixed by hitting retry (I forgot the name, but I remember it being something like Etk3 or something of the sort).
My issue now is not being able to boot into the OS. I'm getting Error 25 from GRUB on stage 1.5
I've installed 11.1 over my Windows XP partition. I want XP no more. Additionally, I read the sticky and followed all the instructions. I also selected the KDE desktop (I still don't know the difference between that and GNOME despite Googling it several times).

I'm using openSUSE 11.4 KDE upgraded from 11.3. No nonstandard packages that I know of. I get this error messages on boot :
Code:

<3>[ 2.668073] [drm:intel_panel_get_max_backlight] *ERROR* fixme: max PWM is zero.
I was wondering why is this happening. I didn't get those on 11.3.Just to add my openSUSE boots normally and seems to work as expected. My graphics card/driver combo is :
Code:
