This is supposed to support SLES 11, and I can install and run OpenSuSE 11.1 fine, but the installer won't boot on the 11.2 DVD (checked the disk and it's fine). So I tried an end-run: I did an online update from 11.1 with zypper dup. That seemed to go very well, but when rebooting, it freezes (it *will* start in failsafe mode). Here's where 11.2 freezes during boot (after online update from 11.1): [ 8.827727] b43-pci-bridge 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 ..and here's where the 11.2 DVD installer freezes:

openSUSE installation program v3.4.7 (c) 1996-2009 SUSE Linux Products GmbH <<< Starting udev...

I'm wondering if any developers recognize either of these? There's only one driver (for the modem) on the HP website for linux, so I assume HP has SuSE working with these laptops. I also flashed the latest BIOS. This seems to remain a problem in the 11.3 #6 installer that I also tried (I'm hoping to get WiFi support OOB). TIA!!!! Patti Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install 11.1 2.online update to 11.2 3.reboot... One out of 4 times I tried to boot the installer of 11.2, it actually did boot. So there may be some level of intermittency here. In particular, it boots in safe mode (after the online update from 11.1). The 11.3 #6 installer also won't boot. BTW: everything works (after downloading/installing the BCM linux wifi driver) OOB in 11.1 (except the screen brightness controls). -- 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.
