[plug] process keeps running

[David Godfrey]

Hi Jon,

A couple of extra notes....

You may need to update your initrd (not sure on suse but something link 
update-initrd) and also once you have the system booted (possibly from a 
rescue boot disk) you may need to update your bootloader config 
(something like update-grub)

Regards
David G
