In a scaled-back disaster recovery drill, I backed up a SLES 10 server
(a web server that will replace our active RH 9 web server), then
restore some files to another SLES 10 server. The restore ran fine; when
it was finished, the files were there on the test server. When I reboot
the test server, it hangs before it finishes.
So I decided to try restoring just one directory at a time, beginning
with /novell. I thought this would be innocuous enough since it doesn't
have device drivers or anything else that the OS needs or references.
After re-installing the OS and restoring this directory, I re-booted the
test server. Same thing happened. I won't try to reproduce the entire
screen, but here are some of the last lines:
Filesystem is clean
Replaying journal . .
Reiserfs journal '/dev/hda2/' in blocks [18 . .8211]: 0 transactions

fsck succeeded. Mounting root device read-write

hda: task_out_intr: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: task_out_intr: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }

And this is where it stays. I can press reset and select Failsafe on
bootup. Then I get a shell login. If I next try a standard boot, it
hangs trying to configure the network interface. I can still do a
Failsafe boot and get a shell login at this point and startx
successfully, but clearly something fundamental got changed that we
didn't expect.
P.S. - The project of putting Bacula 1.38 on the SLES 10 box is on
hold, but not retired. In the last attempt I encountered the dependency
chase. Also, YaST's behavior in SLES 10 is very different from SLES 9,
at least where installing software from RPMs is concerned, and I still
haven't got that figured out.
