Please note that I already exchanged the mainboard - without improvement. -- 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.

It doesn't appear to be a hard disk problem either, because the problem occurs also when directly streaming mpeg movies from the network via the mplayer plug-in in firefox (many drop outs). The protocol for streaming YouTube movies (in firefox) seems to be protected much better: only occasionally very little visible drop outs. Loading the same files from CD/DVD to disk seems to work without problems as well, no problems with playing the same movies from CD/DVD, USB memory stick or hard disk. As I said previously I already replaced the mainboard by a new one of the same type and newer BIOS. Another observation: Occasionally the network data quality is very bad, i.e. jpeg images embedded in normal HTML pages are visibly corrupted. However, a re-boot usually cures this problem. I still have the suspicion that the NVIDIA nForce 520 chipset is not properly supported by openSUSE 10.3 (and maybe neither by openSUSE 11.0, because the boot problem with the 64 bit version as reported in bug 358347 seems to remain in 11.0). According to http://de.opensuse.org/HKL/Mainboard the higher version of my mainboard, i.e. MSI K9N Neo-F V3 with the NVIDIA nForce 560 chipset, works fine with openSUSE 10.3 (the mentioned hangup problem should be resolved by specifying "hwprobe=-isa" as for my board). What do you think about investing some money to try the V3 version of the MB? Of course, I could also try first to reproduce the problem with another distribution, e.g. the latest Knoppix. -- 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.

Since openSUSE works with the chipset on other motherboards, I close this with worksforme. -- 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.
