Kernel: Version 2.2.5
SuSE-INTERN:
Symptom:
This problem has more than one symptom:
- When attempting to start YaST after loading certain modules, the
system returns to linuxrc. (Yast can be identified as seperate from
linuxrc by the distincitve blue-green menus as opposed to the grey ones
which linuxrc uses).
- When attempting load modules, the error appears "error reading
diskette".
Cause:
Loading modules in kernel version 2.2.5 can sometimes corrupt the ram
disk, preventing it from working thereafter.
Solution:
Either of the following options will solve the problem:
- In linuxrc, select the menu "Installation"/ "Expert", and set the
option "force root image" to "No".
- Write the disk image
/suse/images/boot
, which is
located on the first CD, to a disk and use this as your boot/installation
disk. Since a larger initial disk is used here, the RAM disk is not
required and the problem does not occur.
