what does kernel suffix mean?After OS installation and supplementary product installation I am discovering a set of boot alternatives and corresponding kernel versions. They have different suffixes: -pae, -default, -trace.
It appears that kernel *-pae is booting normally,while kernel *-default hungs in the middle of booting process being unable to discover certain disk or partition.Some products also have similar suffixes: -pae, -trace,-default. What does it mean? Shall I keep kernels that do not boot?
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.

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.
I have a system running openSUSE 11.2 with Desktop and XEN kernel, as well as Windows 7 (not by choice though...). I have noticed a strange time issue, with Windows 7 and the desktop kernel the time is correct (like for example now: 1:32 PM) but in the XEN kernel it is ahead several hours (6:32 PM). If it was an issue between openSUSE and windows then I would think that it is a problem with the system clock but I don't know what would cause a time issue between kernels like that.
differences between Kernel Default and Kernel Desktop? I've found some past threads like this link and this other link, and some other google info, which suggest the only difference would be the io scheduler. Also, I see the default grub choice is "Desktop" and not "Default", so I take this as a suggestion to prefer one over the other.
However, my broadcom 4312 wireless only works on the "default" and not on the "desktop" kernel, so I guess there must be other differences. I just want to evaluate which one is the less long-term risk option to go.
As you know everywhere we create a new file ,immediately a backup file with suffix ~ will be created with it if we open the file , i deleted a file but always i have problem with its backup how can delete them with deleting the file?
I am trying to configure Fedora 11 Samba PDC with LDAP backend. All information on how to was obtained at http:[url].......The Howto is not complete. However, I have a real problem when configuring ldap.conf and slapd.conf as I will replace the domain acpng.org.pg with the examples. The problem is when entering the following:
URI ldap://127.0.0.1/ HOST linux-srv1.pqrst.org.nk BASE dc=pqrst,dc=org # now here, do I put another dc=nk for the
I have a script (below) which works ok, but I have tried to modify it as I want to keep the older files for a restore if needed. I have tried adding a date suffix to the newly created files (second lump of code), but it doesn't seem to work.I get the error:
I'm trying to install some wireless drivers, but apparently I don't have a /lib/modules/<kernel>/build directory, which is causing the Makefile to throw an error. Is there a specific place I should point the Makefile at?
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
i followed the install method in the g95.org as follows.Installation Notes Unix (Linux/OSX/Solaris/Irix/etc.): Open a console, and go to the directory in which you want to install g95. To download and install g95, run the following commands:
wget -O - http://ftp.g95.org/g95-x86-linux.tgz | tar xvfz -
everything seemed to work fine. the g95 command in terminal prompted a "no input files" so it seemed to work. i made a quick hello program to test and i get these errors.
/tmp/cc3Ugii1.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc3Ugii1.s:11: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push'
tested the program with gfortran and it worked fine. i googled around a little and it appears that the error have something to do with a 64 bit 32bit problem. i mean like the compiler is expecting 64 bit, but libraries are 32 bit. or somthing like that.
I was setting up a new Linux box and router today and when I was looking to see if my custom DNS servers were being handed off in DHCP to my Ubuntu box I realized that the isp was shoving down onto my machines their dns suffix. Since I have configured my dhcp scope in the router to hand out a local dns suffix I am not sure why my suffix is not being used. Is there a way to use the .local dns suffix for both my linux and windows machines with dhcp instead of having to manually set the suffix?
I'm having an issue when I'm trying to install SuSE linux onto my desktop.I go through all the steps and everything looks okay, but when it starts to install the packages, I get an error message that basically says:kernel.desktop - unable to install, exit status 127.I have a ATI X1950 video card in the computer, as well as a AMD 64 FX CPU in the system.
I was installing the kernel-pae, in the middle of the installation it said it couldn't resolve some dependencies. it ask me to ignore or cancel I chose to cancel there after my system froze.
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

I see that we got a new kernel for 11.1 shortly before end of life. This might extend the period useability quite a bit. Anyone knows what exactly the relevant changes are?
Linux Kernel 2.6.38 was officially released on 3/15. This kernel upgrade promises to fix the driver issues for video cards with 1080P, and has a number of other great features. Any idea when this will be available for SuSE 11.3 & 11.4? Also, if this kernel proves to be a workable solution, are their plans for re-releasing 11.4 using this kernel?
i upgraded from 11.1 to 11.2. Unfortunately the new kernel does not work with my sata/southbridge (i googled and figured its a known issue). So i tried to boot a 11.1 64bit rescue system to install the older kernel and the corresponding initrd. The problem is, that i cant find the kernel and initrd on the rescue system.
I currently have 2.6.31.8 installed on my netbook which causes problems, causing the netbook to freeze.
So, I downgraded to 2.6.31.5 and is working properly. Using Yast, I had marked 2.6.31.8 as do not install but after several days of use (by my kids) 2.6.31.8 mysteriously comes back and the system freeze again
How can I have 2.6.31.8 and 2.6.31.5 both installed on the same system so that I can avoid the trouble to manually reinstall 2.6.31.5?
Following a zypper dup and turning my computer off for a few hours; when I rebooted, I got a message saying, "error: you need to load the kernel first press any key to continue . . . " And then it goes back to the grub menu for of the same if I select openSUSE 11.2.SystemrescueCD won't boot it. I've tried to "repair installed system" and "rescue" with my openSUSE 11.1 DVD -- it won't even acknowledge (as it were) the presence of 11.2 or the system on the other hard drive (though it does recognise the partitions).The PCLinuxOS 2009 KDE and GNOME live CDs will redo the MBR of installed systems (at least, as far I know, PCLinuxOS is one of systems). In my experience, the 11.2 live CD won't. I was hoping the 11.1 DVD would. What to do?
I have tried to 'rpm -ivh' the 2.6.34-8 image to the 2.6.31-5 on my Suse 11.2. Without any luck, rpm goes fine, however at the next bootup, then udev is about to be initialized, the machine goes down (don't see any message).
But if I install the MileStone 7 of 11.3 on the same machine, it works just fine.
Are there any scripts/howtos I have to follow if I upgrade from 2.6.31 to 2.6.34?
I installed the new 2.6.34.4-0.1 security update earlier today. Now, the login screen no longer responds to my keyboard. In particular, I cannot type my password to log in. If I reboot into failsafe mode, the keyboard works and I can log in.
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.
I used to install the latest kernel for opensuse 11.3 from this repo:
Index of /repositories/Kernel:/stable
but for 11.4 it is empty. I can see that for 11.3 the 2.6.38 kernel is already built.For 11.4 there is only the Kernel:/HEAD repo. Are we going to have a kernel:/stable repo for 11.4?
