The net install seems to run OK if I use all defaults but fails with a kernel panic "error while loading shared libraries libhd.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" if I select 'FTP' as source. I will check this out and raise another bug if appropriate -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Looks like this is something to to with the CD unit. The one giving problems is a very old Acer unit, a newer Freecom one works. CD media test passes on both though. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm not sure this is worth pursuing further - at least we've documented a possible issue with some old drives. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
