    Hi all
    of course, the subject is a joke! ;-)

    Yesterday, finally, I succeeded in making an on-line update of my SuSE 9.1 (it
    seemed a matter of /dev/null permissions - thanks to Leen anyway).

    Since the list of patches I had to install was very long I started installing
    a certain number of them (say more than one half).

    The result has been the following:

    MANY CONFLICTS:
    Samba, Evolution & other packages. I had to downgrade them to the previous
    versions.

    FIREFOX:
    I was not able to start it neither as root nor as user (X server problem).
    Downgraded to the previous version (0.8). Works fine.

    ON BOOT:

    This message repeated about fifteen times:
    "/sbin/splash: line 1: /dev/null: Read-only filesystem"
    then
    "/etc/init.d/boot.d/S01boot.proc: line 51: /dev/null: Read-only filesystem"

    coldplug waits for 20/25 seconds before to start scanning:
    "coldplug scanning input:" (20/25 seconds stop)

    Setting up network interfaces:
    waiting for mandatory devices: eth0
    20 19 18 17 16 14
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ?? (this line is mine)

    "Starting RPC portmap deamonportmap: fork: Success failed"
    (the same message I have on the notebook as I posted some day ago)
    Before the update the message was: "Starting RPC portmap deamonportmap done"

    and, as a consequence of the above:

    "Failed services in runlevel 5: portmap"

    ON SHUTDOWN:
    Thede messages:

    /etc/init.d/boot.d/K17boot.md: line 51: /dev/null: Read-only filesystem
    /etc/init.d/boot.d/K19boot.rootfsck: line 51: /dev/null: Read-only filesystem
    /etc/init.d/boot.d/K20boot.shm: line 51: /dev/null: Read-only filesystem
    /etc/init.d/boot.d/K21boot.proc: line 51: /dev/null: Read-only filesystem
    /etc/init.d/boot.d/K21setserial: line 51: /dev/null: Read-only filesystem
    proc umounted
    /etc/init.d/rc6.d/S20reboot: line 110: /dev/null: Read-only filesystem

    That's all, at the moment.

    Is there anyone that can explain to me (or give me any link) about what
    happened?

    Ciao
