If you run into this problem and want to explore it, your first step is to contact the maintainer
of the kernel section that did not compile. Go to /usr/src/linux/MAINTAINERS to
find the person in charge. Ask if the team is aware of your problem. If necessary, you
could post a problem to the appropriate mailing list, but before doing this, look at the If
Something Goes Wrong section of the /usr/src/linux/README file.
Runtime Errors, Bootloader Problems, and Kernel Oops
If the kernel compiles, but crashes after you restart your computer, you have runtime
errors. Error messages will appear on the screen (you can see them after you??™ve turned off
the SUSE boot screen by pressing Esc) or in the /var/log/messages file. Bootloader problems
will be displayed on the screen, without a log file. Kernel oops are errors in a running
kernel, with the errors written to /var/log/messages.
In these situations, Google is your friend. Chances are quite good that someone else has
seen the error message(s) you have and that documented solutions are out there. Head to
your favorite search engine and type in the error message with quotes around it.
