| 00:08.45 | brailsmt | here I am in the data center installing SP3 for SuSE 8, the dumb thing hangs for 45 minutes while upgrading the kernel, so I have to shut it down and restart... |
| 00:09.24 | brailsmt | stoopid SuSE was in the process of overwriting the kernel image when it froze, making the machine unbootable... |

| 00:09.59 | brailsmt | and unfortunately they were overwriting the previous kernel image, not writing to a temp file and then moving... |
| 00:10.18 | brailsmt | thx to chroot i got to fix it... |
| 00:11.32 | brailsmt | note to SuSE it is generally accepted as BAD to not maintain known working kernels in /boot/ |
| 00:11.33 | goozbach | folks that's why you never overwrite a kernel |
| 00:13.02 | brailsmt | so i booted with the rescue disk mounted the root FS copied over my fstab, edited it and mounted up the normal FS then chrooted to it and finished the upgrade... |
| 00:13.21 | brailsmt | which is a feat that I would never of known about if it wasn't for Gentoo :) |
