mkinitrd fails after kernel update
 

Suse 10.3 wants to update the kernel (2.6.22.5 -> 2.6.22.9). This failed because mkinitrd fails.


Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-31-default
Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.22.5-31-default
Root device: /dev/sdc2 (mounted on / as reiserfs)
Resume device: /dev/sdb2
Device sdb not found in sysfs
Script /lib/mkinitrd/setup/72-block.sh failed!

any idea how to get a new initrd?

You need to check on the /dev/sdb2 device. The "resume=" entry in the boot entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst is where this comes from. /dev/sdb2 should be your swap partition. If this information is wrong, correct it. The resume= entry is used for suspend/resume.

Hello,

yes you are right! I have done it, but only after a reboot it has worked, why this??? It's Linux not Windows.
