    Ok, but how do I that ?.
     
    > What is the error?

    I cannot remember, and could not as I wanted to copy the logfiles to my winxp
    partition, to be able to look at them. I was not able to mount /windows/C due to a vfat
    message.

    As far as I remember it the verision you also have mentioned further down the lines.
    I'll try if I can do it as I can do a failsafe boot.

    No I did'nt compile the kernel, just as you say updated the system with Synaptic, and
    I'm at all not a clever Synaptic user -at the present- Then I would do a reboot, and
    encoutered the problems, maybe because I din't ran the SuSEconfig, ldconfig after
    the finish of the work of Synaptic.

    That's right.

    But I'll give it a try, but have the same idea about it as you have. I use Grub here.

    Thanks so much for your infos Franklin.
