OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 - Revert To A Previous Kernel?
Aug 20, 2010I used to have 2.6.34-12-default kernel. Recently I downloaded and installed 2.6.35.1-1.1 DEBUG kernel. Because I cannot either use pre-compiled packages or compile new package from source, I want to go back to 2.6.34-12-DEFAULT kernel.

Aug 27, 2011I'm planning to install openSUSE on a rather old computer(1,5 GB RAM 2,2 GHz Intel Celeron) and I have only 3,6 GB disk space at my disposal. Using Xfce or LXDE desktop environment what is the minimum installation size I can get while retaining a usable system?

Jan 30, 2010I have ubuntu 8.04 installed on a full disk partition. I've just bought a linux magazine, which came with a CD containing Fedora 12. I want to dual boot or fully install while retaining my music, if at all possible.
I've tried running the Fedora disc and choosing to fill empty space with Fedora, but I get an error informing me that I don't have enough space. Presumably, this is because I have a full disk partition.
Debian :: Install A Previous Kernel Release ?
Jun 13, 2010I want to install (or compile myself) a previous kernel release (2.6.31.13). Where can I get it?
I mean a Debian Kernel with all your patches etc.
I'm using Debian Unstable. I just noticed that it was the quickest kernel (well, maybe for me only and my hardware).
Fedora :: Config File Still Sets The Default To "1" But If Left The Automatic Boot It Will Boot The Previous Kernel?
Aug 17, 2010After a kernel update, the system always updates the GRUB menu, and the newer kernel is the default boot option.However, after an update on my F13 X64 system, the GRUB menu was updated, the config file still sets the default to "1" but if i left the automatic boot it will boot the previous kernel... am I crazy or missing something here?Here is my /boot/grub/grub.conf file:

OpenSUSE Install :: No USB Boot Option In BIOS?
Aug 29, 2010Under Windows XP in the C Drive, I've downloaded PLoP boot manager to force the USB boot. I've tried about a thousand things and I get a different error message at different times from each attempt. I've got all of those documented, and I imagine I'll need to post them. I'm just not doing it quite yet as sometimes I give too much information and I really feel that I'm being an idiot here, missing something simple.
I'd like to install openSUSE onto the D Drive, using the USB and PLoP to boot it. I've downloaded openSUSE's torrents for all iso's (Net, DVD and LiveKDE). In order to get those files onto the USB, I first format to FAT32. I've tried UNetBootIn, LiLi, and mounting the iso on Daemon Tools and then copy-paste into the hard drive. None of these work and they all give different errors.Is this even possible, am I wasting my time? This is getting incredibly frustrating as I've been at it for nearly a week.
OpenSUSE Install :: Every Boot Message Reads "previous Installation Failed"?
Nov 22, 2009I finally did it. I took the plunge and moved away from MS and installed openSuSe on my system. I have a Gateway 650 with 160 MB of ram and yes it did install! To top it all off it also boots to Windows XP. This was all working fine until I < me < myself < yes I am a gonna admit >>USER ERROR<< booted the system into windows and I decided to see if my system needed to be DEFRAGGED. Yup I did.. I ran the defrag on the system and when it was all said and done my NTFS file system was all nice and pretty no more fragmented files.
So I decided to reboot the system to see that wonnerful boot loader of openSuSe and I chose the 11.2 to boot to and I get the message that the previous installation failed and it starts to run the script to "fix" the installation. It hangs on around 4% the installation. I hit ctrl alt del and it boots into the openSuSe partition and it seems to be working, but I have that durn annoying screen of the "previous installation failed". Are there any ideas on how to as my GF 4 yr old daughter says "flix it"? Or do I have to go through the PAINFULLY SLOW installation again?

Jun 21, 2010After giving it my best shot, I had to give up and finally decide that I need "acpi=off" added to the kernel line in grub. I have done so, saved it:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.12-0.2-default root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST950212A_5LE02797-part1
pci=noacpi
I have tried "acpi=off" "pci=noacpi". But on boot the system totally ignores this and loads the acpi support from the kernal, which shut down the USB ports. Where is this option used in Suse so that the kernel will recognize on each boot?

This is just a files sharing partition, it is not a system partition.

Dec 1, 2010I installed Jolicloud in a new partition to give it a try. It's pretty nice. Anyway, it took over my bootloader, which didn't really bother me.
Now my kernel has automatically been updated to 2.6.35-22.41 or something. The option to boot from the new kernel does not appear. As you might imagine, I want to do that. My old bootloader updated this stuff automatically.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDebian Configuration :: Kernel Not Recognizing Boot Option ?
Aug 25, 2010I'm running Squeeze and I've been running into the r8169 hang problem (see [url]for example). A temporary (until the driver foibles in the kernel are resolved) solution that seems to be working for many people is passing the boot option "pcie_aspm=off" to the kernel.
Apparently, either I don't understand grub2 at all or my kernel doesn't like me very much. I put the option in grub.cfg like so:
However, it appears that the kernel, for whatever reason, is either not being given this boot option or it's not interpreting it correctly. When I run lspci -vv I get this for my r8169 ethernet card:
The relevant section is LnkCtl: ASPM L0s L1 Enabled; indicating that ASPM is still on.

Debian Configuration :: Installing Specific Kernel As Boot Option?
Jul 29, 2011I need to install any version of Debian with the Debian Kernel version 2.6.22-3-686. I don't mind what version of Debian it is, I just need it to have this specific kernel! Debian Etch comes with 2.6.18-4-686 and Lenny comes with 2.6.26-2-686 so the kernel I need is obviously somewhere in between.
I have tried using the following commands to see if kernel 2.6.22-3-686 is available for download via the apt-get method in both Debian Etch and Lenny but it is not...
apt-cache search linux-kernel
apt-cache search linux-source
So does anyone know where/how I can download specific kernels and install them for use? I have a computer sitting next to me that has multiple kernels as an option on boot, and they all boot into the same system, however I do not know the person who set up the computer so cannot ask them how they did it

OpenSUSE Install :: Kernel 2.6.37 Won't Boot?
Jan 25, 2011I 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 :: Boot Into The Xen Kernel After Initial?
Apr 17, 2010I'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.

Nov 9, 2010I 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.
