OpenSUSE Install :: Kernel Panic When Booting Live Gnome Or Dvd
Jul 4, 2011
I've currently have opensuse 11.3 installed on my system and I would like to do a new fresh install of opensuse 11.4. I therefore downloaded the DVD 11.4 x64 install. However, when booting the kernel from the DVD (that leads to the installation procedure) I obtain the following error message "unable to handle kernel paging request". The system then stops and I need to perform a hard reset to restart again. The same happens if I try do boot from the live gnome CD. Thus, I'm unable to install opensuse 11.4 at all due to this problem. A possible solution would be to perform a hot update (i.e. changing repositories in my 11.3 and perform a zypper refresh and zypper dup). But I'm a bit scared of doing this since this will install the problematic kernel. how to circumvent this problem ? Is there any updated version of the live CD? I've been able to install opensuse 11.4 x64 without problems at home. Now I'm trying to install it at work. The current kernel (at work) is:

I am trying to install openSUSE 11.3 on a Dell Dimension XPS D233. When the system loads the install after the second of six pieces it always locks up and the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock start flashing. This in my experience as a IT Specialist means a kernel panic has occurred. Does anyone know of the way to correct and/or bypass this issue?

It is my first try getting Linux on my pc which is an Acer Aspire Z5610. This is not the first time for me when I am getting an Kernel Panic error on this computer.
I looked up google hoping to find an answer and I found out that it may be my BIOS's fault. I currently have Windows 7 on this PC. I have a Phoenix BIOS and there is an update for it called "Bios Linux" on the official Acer support website.
OK, after this short introduction, that's the error:
I really hope to get support for this problem as I can not literally install any other OS to this PC than Windows 7 because they fail with Kernel Panic.
Tried other Linux Editions and even Mac OS Intel Edition and IAtkos V1 and V7 and they all give kernel panic.

I got this weird kernel panic in a brand new computer that my friend bought a few days ago.
The hardware specs are:
- AMD Athlon II X3
- 4 GB RAM
- SATA HDD and DVD
- Motherboard: MSI K9N6PGM2
Whats happening? I have installed openSUSE in a lot of machines and this is the first time that i got this.
Tried with a lot of media that i have here, LiveCD's, various DVD's and nothing.

After reading this article openSUSE News - Forum Users Benefit from openSUSE KDE Repository I added that KDE repo to yast and switched all packages.
After rebooting it says (failsafe kernel configuration says the same):
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS:
Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)
And stops at this string: "[<c0203826>] kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10" and capslock light is blinking.

today I updated my Slackware 13.0 to 13.1. Unfortunately it didn't boot any longer. I probably forgot to run "lilo" before restarting. However, I reinstalled Slackware and I installed grub instead of lilo I'm more familiar with it..
This was my first menu.lst config:
Quote:
title Linux (uuid)
root(hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=UUID=6a8096a3-3915-4ef2-8984-976e42d04cfc ro vga=0x031b
While booting it stopped and printed this message:
Quote:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS; Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block
Then I compared it to other Linux system on different computers and I noticed that every of them, who are using uuids, using an initrd as well. So I created one and now it boots properly.
I just wonder, why? Why does it need an initrd to boot by using uuids?

After a reboot, my PC just hang. It says "insmod : error inserting '/lib/raid456.ko : -1 File exists ..." then followed by a kernel panic. I have tried to boot using rescue mode but it couldn't find any Linux partition, thus no /mnt/sysimage was mounted. It left me at a shell and I'm stuck there.

just updated to the kernel 2.6.36.2 contained in this repository: Index of /repositories/Kernel:/stable/openSUSE_11.3 The x86_64 type. And im getting a kernel panic after about 15 minutes of machine usage. Is it an error in packaging or what?

I am in the process of re-DL-ing the ISO as the checksums didn't match.
Mind you, that was with a shell extension in Win-Lose. Who knows.
Anyway:
I have the ISO (that I had previously) on a USB courtesy of UNetBootIn. All appears well until, quite quickly, I receive an error after the loading process which goes something like:
Code:
Error: cannot find disk at [hash-code - looks like 0ace5f etc etc, is about 12 char's in length.]Something very similar (but not same error I think) happened when I tried to do the same with my OpenSolaris or Fedora install. I.e., gets as far as the very beginning of the loader and then: bork.
At least one of them said "will reboot in 120 secs". Saves me the trouble!

im a rookie at configuring linux and i have problem booting slackware 13.1 just installed. i get a message similar to this Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown- block(8,4) i got this one from another user who has a similar problem, they say i should fix lilo.conf and it actually was pointing to a wrong partition so i fixed it. i also fixed /etc/fstab to make it point to the right partition /dev/sda3. but after fixing the files, it still wants to load something in /dev/sda4, i dont know why so what should i do next, please explain with commands and not just words. edit this is my lilo.conf
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
# Append any additional kernel parameters:
append=" vt.default_utf8=0"
boot = /dev/sda3
[Code]...

Yesterday I did follow exactly the description how to build a live system on a USB Stick with the additional second partition for the data of Live_USB_stick. So far I had success, as my Netbook did start booting and loaded the OpenSUSE 11.2. Then I rebooted the Netbook and it never again comes up with the 11.2. It looks as if it would stop somewhere at starting the graphical system, but I'm not sure.
Today, second try, I created the USB stick with the 11.2 Live System only (no second partition). My Netbook starts booting and shows the 11.2 system successfully, also further boots are the same successful. Then having created the Live system with the second partition again, results in a un-bootable Netbook again (not even the first time it comes up).
What I wonder when I did check the USB partitions: the one (sdg1) with the Live-CD can be mounted and the content is readable. The second one (sdg2) cannot be mounted; shouldn't it be mountable and shouldn't it be formated with a file system? Did anyone have some experience on this? Or, at least, the people having a running persistent live system, what does the partition them show up?

I am running an Hp Pavillion dv6000 with the Broadcom card that never seems to work for Linux. I recently talked with my friend who said he found a way to get it work.following his instructions I opened Synaptic and checked the package bmcwl-kernel-source to be installed.I went through the process of it all and it said it had install successfully. I restarted the computer and when I tried to enter my operating system I got this error "Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block(8,1)"
I have previous versions of Linux on my computer so I can still get in to those if need be but I don't know how to undo what I did or why it isn't working for that matter. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am getting this error and how I can fix it?

I have a SONY PCG-R505TE laptop with an external CD/DVD, it connects via what I think is a PCMCIA card, the drive came with the laptop and functions fine. I currently have Windows XP running on this laptop, but it's very slow.I downloaded openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso and sucessfully burned it to a CD.I have the laptop bios set to boot from CD, and it appears to be doing that no problem. When it boots I first see the welcome screen, then the openSUSE Installer, whether I select the Live (GNOME) option, or the Installation.. it loads the kernel, and then loads the KIWI boot systemit is on the third event, waiting for CD/DVD dvices to appear... that something seems to fail... I then see Failed to detect CD/DVD or USB drivethen a rebootexception and it reboots in 120 seconds.

We have just installed the 11.3 version of opensuse in a Dell Poweredge T610 with 8 Gb in RAM and two (2) Xeon Quadcore proccesors. Well, the first time the Opensuse resets the computer, after the installation (it was fine, w/o any problem) the system goes frezze showing a screen which reports a BUG ERROR in the Kernel code, specifically:
Kernel bug at /usr/package/BUILD/kernel-desktop-2.6.34/kernel/timer.c:643
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
last sysfs file: /sys/module/thermal_sys/sections/__ksymtab_strings
CPU 11
...
...
After a "button off" reset the machine boots fine and we could finish the configuration of the applications that we needed. We tested the machine by two days and it didn't show again the problem mentioned, and we believe it was a little bug in the installation, but today, the server halts again in the boot process 3 (three) times before it runs again well.We have repeated this installation in other computers, one in a 32 bit version and other in 64 bits version (like the Dell) and only in the last one has repeated the problem, I mean, no problems in the 32 bit installation. Fortunately, this new server is just a replacement for an old machine, that is running with the 10.3 version. Perhaps, does we continue using the 10.3 instead of the 11.3 meanwhile it is deputed?

I recently decided to try out OpenSuSE after a few years of using kubuntu. However, upon lanuching the install disk I get the following kernel panic: "kernel panic-not syncing VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1)". I am using the 64-bit DVD install and I have verified the md5 of both the download and the disk itself. The specs for my computer are:
Core 2 Q6600
4gb ddr2 RAM
MSI P6N-SLI motherboard
Nvidia GTX 480

I am using the 32bit-Version of OpenSuse while running this on a 64bit Dualcore. Could that cause the issue?

in attempt to dualboot w7 and opensuse i manage to screw windows boot loader. I was hoping that with opensuse live cd i'll successfully save my data but i was wrong. I can't browse any of partition with any of browsers inside liveCD including dolphin. When i try to access it says: There is no application installed that can open files of the type block device (inodelockdevice). Do you want to try to install one? Is there another option to access partitions because I can't install another browser on live cd.

Im trying out popular distros running on Gnome.. to see possible installation candidate And having one problem with OpenSUSE 11.3 Gnome out of the box...I can not enable desktop effects.. it says it can not be done on my hardware configuration...My hardware: AMD Athlon 64bit 3000+, Ati Radeon X600 256MB, 2GB DDR2, 160GB HDD...In every other distro I tried from live CD.. I could enable desktop effects.Now I have tried update in that live session.. and when gone to that software application it asked and I downloaded 130Mb of software.flash player..etc... but I still did not have desktop effects... So my question is can it be done with my configuration... Works fine in ubuntu with Open drivers (radeon)...I would really like to make it possible on live CD.. because I dont wanna install and then see that I can not enable it...I know that most driver manipulations need restart.. so live session can not do that...But can you say if I could even make it happen on Raden X600? No problems in Fedora, Ubuntu...

Is there any way to get openSUSE 11.2 to automatically shutdown or hibernate when the laptop is overheating? I often cannot tell when my computer is overheating as it sits on a table. When it over heats, the kernel panics and I have to hold the power button to force my computer to shut off.

I've decided to switch one of my workstations from debian to fedora and I have some issues that I would like to discuss. I've installed the fedora 12 from a live cd and everything worked fine but when I use yum to install software the caps lock key blinds and my old acer 1.5 celeron laptop freezes. Using lmsensors I've noticed that the cpu temp is miniumun 60 degrees and the cpu fan is always on. I've used google and found some ways others tried to resolve this but none worked.
I thing it's a kernel bug so I want to know how to collect all the data.
