Error occurred during initrd creation during installation of openSUSE 11.4
Hello, completely new to linux. Just build my first computer and am trying to install openSUSE 11.4. While it's installing the boot manager, a dialogue box pops up that says "An error occurred during initrd creation." The following are the details:
Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37.1-1.1-desktop Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.37.1-1.1-desktop KMS drivers: nouveau Root device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST1000DM003-9YN162_S1D32X2S-part4 (/dev/sda4)(mounted on / as ext4) Kernel Modules: thermal_sys thermal processor fan crc16 jbd2 ext4 button video i2c-algo-bit drm drm_kms_helper ttm nouveau Features: kms block usb resume.userspace resume.kernel Bootsplash: openSUSE (800x600) 50227 blocks Perl-Bootloader: 2012-11-06 20:40:07 WARNING: Bootloader::Library::SetLoaderType: Missing arch for elilo Perl-Bootloader: 2012-11-06 20:40:07 ERROR: Command'/sbin/elilo-v>/var/log/YaST2/y2log_bootloader 2>&1' failed with code 32512 and output: sh: /sbin/elilo: No such file or directory There was an error generating the initrd(1) I just watched a coworker install openSUSE 11.4 on a computer at work using the exact same disk. Can anyone explain what this error means? Is it a problem with my hardware? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
opensuse 11.4 is NOW unsupported it is what is called " end of life"
it died and was "put to rest" yesterday please stay current and install OpenSUSE 12.2 see the suse wiki http://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime R.I.P.--- 11.4 |
Wow, what are the odds? Thanks so much for the reply. Just to clarify, why was my coworker able to install it about 4 hours earlier. Did the support literally expire within that exact time period? Thanks again.

you "can " install it and use it
BUT there will NEVER be any security updates NO software updates NO new programs NO support NO bug fixes NO new hardware support NO new anything and no critical security fixes basically DEAD and unsupported Quote:
or in the type of install there are many many options you might want to have a look through the suse documentation and manuals http://doc.opensuse.org/ though if you MUST use a now unsupported version a( 11.4 ) and CAN NOT use the current 12.2 there is a program called "evergreen" that offers partial support to "End OF Life" 11 versions of opensuse http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen |
