I’m sending this message from a windows system because my linux system
(pre-installed on an HP mini notebook) will not reboot.
After installation of updates, a message appeared directing me to
reboot as soon as possible. Upon doing so, I received the following
error messages:
WARNING: could not opn
‘/lib/modules/2.6.32.45-0.3-pae/kernel/net/netfilter/x_tables.ko’: No
such file or directory
FATAL: Could not open
‘lib/modules/2.6.32.45-0.3-pae/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko’:
No such file or directory.
After a few more lines of error messages, It suggests: Perhaps iptables
or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
It then gives me a login command line. When I enter the login and
password, it tells me I have new mail and provides another command
line.
I am new to Linux, and so have no idea what command to input in order
to rectify the situation to fix the kernel issues.
Can you provide us with the output of these commands:[color=blue]
uname -a
zypper if kernel-pae
[/color]
It looks as if there was a problem during update and not all packages
were installed.
You still have some packages from the previous kernel - the
2.6.32.45-0.3-pae one. But it should be 2.6.32.46-0.3.1.
It’s good to try also to get the latest kernel packages from’ here’
(http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=J-GVAzcwoFA~) and try to
install them in your system.
As you could hardly download them in command line mode use your Windows
installation then and after that use some Linux LiveCD (Ubuntu, Fedora,
OpenSUSE, etc. will do) to boot in live mode and after that mount your
harddrive and put them there. Then reboot and go to the folder where
your new kernel packages are. For this purpose use command[color=blue]
cd /directory/where/your/packages/are[/color]
and run there[color=blue]
rpm -Uhv *.rpm[/color]
After that reboot.
I did the update through Yast. No problem after reboot.
Were you able to solve the issue ? I confirm some packages need to be
updated.

Arnaud

as the others said, your update probably isn’t complete. I wonder if we can get you back to normal first by disabling the firewall. Login as root on the command line and then “chkconfig SuSEfirewall2 off” and reboot. Does that help?

Please don’t send me support related e-mail unless I ask you to do so.
Thanks to everyone for responding. I’ll try your suggestions and should
have a CD in the next week or so.
Parenthetically,
when I enter uname -a:
Linux linux-f47p 2.6.32.45-0.3-pae #1 SMP 2011-08-22 10:12:58 +0200
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
when enter zypper if kernel-pae:
it tries to refresh service ‘nu_novell.com’, but says there’s a problem
retrieving the repository index file.
Errors listed: Connection failed, check if URL is valid, couldn’t
resove host 'www2.ati.com
upon attempting to disable the firewall via command chkconfig
SuSEfirewall2 off:
SuSEfirewall2: unknown service
I’ll keep you informed of my results after I try the CD boot.
