Mixed Day

Posted by Mark | Filed under Computers, Life

This after­noon while I was home for lunch, I noticed that SuSE­Watcher was show­ing this icon:

This means that there are new secu­rity updates avail­able. I launched YOU to get the new updates and noticed it was an updated ker­nel. I didn’t think much beyond that and let YOU do it’s thing. But after I rebooted I couldn’t get into my Linux install; it looks like some of the ker­nel mod­ules didn’t get installed cor­rectly. Specif­i­cally the one for the filesys­tem that my hard­drive is for­mat­ted in. *grumpf* I’m doing research online to fig­ure out how to revert back to a pre­vi­ous ker­nel to fix this.

That was the bad news. The good news is I got a bit ornery with my iPod not sync­ing with iTunes & fought with it again. After get­ting sev­eral BSODs, I just ran­domly decided to plug the iPod back into the onboard firewire port and for what­ever rea­son it worked! Wheee! Now if I could just get my Linux install fixed; I’d be a happy camper.… At least until the next com­puter screw up!
