EDD is a relatively new feature and some bios implementations are buggy with this. furthermore, a kernel needs CONFIG_EDD or CONFIG_EDD_MODULE for that code for being executed. it`s caling bios routines and may get stuck with that. that may explain why some distro`s work and some not - some of them probably are too old and don`t have EDD feature, and some installers may have a kernel where that feature isn`t active. Apparently, this is not a suse issue, so sorry for the noise. i have some idea how to enhance this and already contacted EDD "maintainer" Matt Domsch for discussing my idea. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
