SuSE Linux: Version 8.1
pico -w /etc/sysconfig/kernelIn the variable INITRD_MODULES, enter the module required to access the file system on the root partition. On a standard installation, this would be the module reiserfs.
If the hard disk containing the Linux boot partition is attached to a SCSI or RAID controller, the module corresponding to this device must also be entered. To find out what module is required, execute
hwinfo --storage-ctrlIf the system is equipped with an IDE CD-writer, the module ide-scsi must be inserted, too. The resulting line may look like this (in SCSI systems):
INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs aic7xxx ide-scsi"Save the file (with the key combination CTRL-O in pico) and close the editor (CTRL-X). Then execute the script
mk_initrdto integrate the modules in the INITRD. The boot problem should now be solved.
An updated yast2-bootloader package in which the bug in the boot loader configuration dialog is already fixed is also available. This package can be installed with YOU or downloaded from the FTP server ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586 then installed by executing the following shell command (adapting path and version number accordingly):
rpm -Uhv /tmp/yast2-bootloader-2.6.68-1.i586.rpm
