Hi Jon,<br>
<br>
A couple of extra notes....<br>
<br>
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)<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

Hi Jon,<br>
<br>
This would be in /etc/fstab in a line like<br>
<pre>/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD50000AAKS-22YGA0_WD-WCA-S87853406-part2 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1</pre>
The best thing to do would be run<br>
blkid | grep '2:'<br>
it should give you a result like....<br>
<pre>/dev/sdb2: LABEL="Sys_Backup" UUID="c54a5134-0799-47bb-a572-64624180ce98" TYPE="ext4"</pre>
Using the UUID you got from the last command edit the fstab line
to look like....<br>
<pre>UUID="c54a5134-0799-47bb-a572-64624180ce98" / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
</pre>
<br>
NOTE: your existing fstab entry may be different from this
example.<br>
All you are trying to do is replace the /dev/disk/by-id/foo with
UUID=bar<br>
<br>

David G<br>

<div>Hi David,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thought I would try to boot this HDD again since I've now
put it in a similar system.</div>
<div>on bootup it stops at the mounting of the drive.</div>
<div>stating things like:</div>
<div>Waiting for device
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD50000AAKS-22YGA0_WD-WCA-S87853406-part2
to appear.</div>
<div>So some how SuSE uses the HDD by id parameter.</div>
<div>Where would I find this information. </div>
<div>Should I just rim it out to get pass the issue.</div>

<br>
Seems a bit strange....<br>
<br>
Does it happen immediately on login, or after some other
application is run?<br>
<br>
Try running htop via ssh and putting it in tree view (F5)<br>
You can then search for the calculator process and if you are
lucky see what the parent process was.<br>
There are other view options for htop that may be helpful here
as well.<br>
<br>
Using ssh to do this has some side effects that may be useful.<br>
<ul>
<li>You can hopefully view the ssh terminal on a large
screen with lots of lines, so it's easier to see what is
happening </li>
<li>When the system crashes, you can always see what was on
the console still (saved me more than once) </li>
<li>It may only be the GUI that crashes, you may still have
full control of the system via ssh. </li>
<li>htop will show you memory and cpu usage, so you will
have more info on what caused the crash. </li>
</ul>
<p>I can envisage this being caused by a number of things,
including a faulty keyboard or some device that is being
seen as a keyboard (if there is a hotkey configured on the
system to start calculator).<br>
It may be worth changing the keyboard/mouse and unplugging
all other peripherals and see if this fixes the issue.<br>
</p>
<p>Give us a little more information on what has happened on
the machine since boot until the crash.<br>
Also how quickly do the multiple calculators get opened?<br>
</p>
<p>Regards<br>
David G<br>

<pre>I'm having an issue where a process (calculator) will load to 84 times on
the desktop and cause the system to freeze.
Any idea how to find what is making this load?
