OpenSUSE Install :: Install A Recent Kernel And Then Compile Some Variations?

Jan 25, 2011

I'm running 11.2 with standard repositories (plus packman). I want to install a recent kernel and then compile some variations of it (to investigate a hardware problem).

So I took these steps:

(1) add the 11.2 Kernel:/HEAD repository
(2) enable multiversion in zypp.conf
(3) use YaST software management to select the kernel development pattern

Note that at the moment, the standard 11.2 kernel ( 2.6.31.14-0.6-desktop) is in use and I have not selected any packages from HEAD. But it has installed 2.6.37-41.1 versions of all the kernel packages I didn't already have (source & docs etc) instead of the 2.6.31 versions. /usr/src/linux symlinks to linux-2.6.37-41 instead of to a directory for the running kernel!

(1) it should have loaded the packages corresponding to the running kernel
(2) it's not supposed to switch repositories

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.2 - Install An Older Kernel As Recent Kernel Is Not Compatible?

Feb 11, 2010

A few days ago yast did update my computer to a new kernel-desktop 2.6.31.12-0.1.1.

My mainboard is an ASUS P4P800-VM with Intel ICH5 chipset. This new kernel is not able, to poweroff my computer. Older kernels were able to poweroff the computer.

How can I roll back to the older kernel? Yast does only offer the recent kernel.

In /boot there are only files of the recent kernel.

ASUS P4P800
Intel Pentium 4 HT, 3000 MHz, Frontside 800 MHz/Cache 1 MB
3 GB Ram
AGP nVidia 7600GS/512 MB, nVidia driver 190.53, installed from yast.
PCI WLan TP-Link 951N (Atheros chipset, WLan N, driver ath9 was automatically installed)

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.

Ubuntu :: Install A Recent - With An Old Kernel ?

May 5, 2010

I have a hardware not so popular, it's a VIA Nehemiah 1,5 Ghz i686 (a low power mobo). I've used it since many years ago.

This mobo seems to have kind of problems with new kernels. If I use the Linux 2.6.20-16-generic kernel or an older one everything is working well. But if I use a newer kernel it has a lot of problems. A lot of different problems and I tried to solve it many times but I couldn't.

For example, with the recent Ubuntu distro, the GUI freezes before starting the installation. If I install by terminal, the GUI freezes at the first start. If I install the server version of Ubuntu (or Debian) without X-server, it works for some minutes then it freezes. If I use a kernel just a bit newer (I don't remember which one... it was years ago) than 2.6.20-16-generic, it works for some hours, then it freezs. So, it is mandatory to use the kernel Linux 2.6.20-16-generic!

Years ago I installed Ubuntu (maybe 6.10) then I updated, more times, till Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS maintaining the old kernels. So now I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.4 with the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel and everything is working perfectly. Ubuntu 8.04 is fortunatly a LTS, so it will be supported till 04/2011, but I have to think about what to do after this date.

I don't remember well, but I think I've already tried to update from 8.04 to a recent Ubuntu (without jumping any version), maintaining my old working kernel, but I had some problems... I'm not sure, maybe will try again.

Anyway the question is: how install a recent Ubuntu (let's say 10.04) with the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel?

Possible solution:
1) Install Ubuntu 10.04 with an option which specify to use this old kernel. But I really don't know how to do it.

2) Try to install Ubuntu 10.04 with just basic service, eg. without GUI and networking. Then install (or compile and install) the old kernel there. Or compile it in another computer and then install it there.

The problem is that I had a lot of problems compiling that kernel (I tried on a Ubuntu 9.10 in a virtual machine) and i couldn't complete the compilation.

Anyway, let's forget for one moment about compilation, can I extract my current kernel from my working system and then install it on the new Ubuntu 10.04 (with basic service)?

OpenSUSE Install :: Upgrading Xen Guest From 11.0 To Recent Version?

Oct 5, 2010

I have been trying for the last couple of days to upgrade a Xen guest running on Xen Server 5.5 from 11.0 to a more recent version. I have tried both 11.3 and 11.1. The upgrade seems to take, but it fails on the initial boot. It seems that it is expecting the root partition to be on /dev/sda2 - however I believe it is supposed to be /dev/xvda2. Initially when fstab had /dev/xvda2 I had a warning, so I changed fstab through yast to use the drives uuid. I've also tried zypper dup - but that gave all sorts of dependency errors. For kicks, I thought I might try 11.4 next. Am I out of luck and should just go with a fresh install?

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.2 Recent Upgrade Unable To Input At Login

Jan 9, 2010

I just recently updated to openSUSE 11.2, but after restarting my computer, I was unable to do anything with the keyboard(type my password, CAPS LOCK, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) or move the pointer with my wireless mouse. After restarting the computer again, I turned on the touchpad of my laptop and was able to move the pointer using the built-in touchpad. After yet a 3rd restart, I could not move my pointer using any method.

After a 4th restart, I chose to enter the failsafe mode, where I could attempt to find the problem from the command line. I manually started KDM as root by typing in "kdm", but nothing happened, which means that the screen did not switch into graphical mode, but the terminal only accepted the command. Then, I manually started X as root by typing in "X", and X started. I only saw a black screen, but I could not kill X by the traditional "Ctrl+Alt+Backspace" and was forced to shutdown my computer via the power button.

I do want to note that on every boot of my machine, "WARNING" messages have begun appearing, but they went so fast that I could not read them. If there is any way to read them, I would greatly appreciate knowing. Also when updating my machine, I remember ignoring some dependencies for kernel-extra, kdm-branding, sox, and gcc44-fortran; but I did not believe that ignoring these dependencies could cause a broken system so I proceeded with the upgrade.

OpenSUSE Install :: Broken System After Install Of Kernel Sources And Restart?

May 29, 2011

I had recently installed the kernel sources so that I could compile the VirtualBox kernel module to use well but I had not restarted afterwards. I had been using my system problem free until tonight when I decided to restart. I had no internet connection and through ifconfig showing only lo and ifup eth0 returning "device eth0 is not accessible", I discovered I had a bigger problem than at first thought. Then I discovered that no PCI devices other than video were working, and so I referred to /var/log/messages and discoverd a line stating that "/lib/modules/2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop/modules.dep : no such file or directory.

All other entries in that directory were some version of 2.6.37.1-1.2.

Unfortunately I had to end up reinstalling because witho

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.2 From DVD - Load Kernel Operation Hangs At 97% (using Both Normal And Safe Kernel)

Feb 23, 2010

I am an experienced Linux admin and have been using SuSE for many years. My development machine has had every version of SuSE since '02 and although it is a little old, is in good working order. (AMD
2400, 2 gig RAM, 160 Gig IDE disks - SuSE on disk 2) (OpenSuSE 11.1 with the latest kernel works perfectly. This install is on a spare HDD prior to doing a full install on my usual HDD.)

When I try to install SuSE 11.2 from DVD, the load kernel operation hangs at 97% (using both normal and safe kernel), however, I can install from live CD without any problem. I have tried the same DVD on a few "older" machines and had the same problem. I initially thought it was the actual DVD but re-burning has the same problem. I have also tried another DVD writer - same problem.
