Description Elmar Stellnberger 2011-01-08 11:05:35 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 SUSE/3.6.13-0.2.1 Firefox/3.6.13

  After a kernel update I could not boot any more:
'can not mount root file system: ext4 unknown file system'
That is not totally new: before the update I could boot -desktop but not -default (same version) because of the same error.
  Luckily I still had the old image to boot from.
works: 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop
does not work: 2.6.34.7-0.7-default

Reproducible: Always

Could you attach output of
zcat /boot/initrd-of_affected_version|cpio -t|grep ext
?

Maybe a dup of bug 665440...

  No, ext4.ko really isn`t there as it is for the desktop branch packages.

And I think Jan has the very same problem...

Comment 5 Elmar Stellnberger 2011-03-28 15:45:10 UTC

 resolved since before 2011-03-21, for kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.34.7-0.7.1.i586 (Hey: this should have been 7-0.7.2!; someone must have forgotten to increment the packaging revision!). 
  However now a different bug has been shed daylight upon: Bug 681259.- standby is blocked by a kernel oops.
