Hello, I downloaded opensuse factory yesterday (dec. 27.) for i386 and ppc. First of all: I could not find a bootable kernel image on the PPC boot disk (boot.ppc.iso), so PPC testing is postponed until I can start installation... And my problems on x86 (a Compaq nx8220 notebook): - there was an unsolved dependency, that 'alsa-tools' needs 'alsa-firmware 1.0.10'. Later I saw, that it was actually installed :) - and a show stopping bug (for me): the installed grub does not work on my machine: when I choose 'windows' from the menu, it reboots, when I choose any of the Linux menu entries, it just freezes, and nothing happens (the wonderfull christmas tree remains on screen). So, I put back 10.0... Bye, CzP

I installed now factory as of dec 30.

It's still here, seems to me, that the PPC team is on holidays :) No usefull boot.ppc.iso, no network bootable kernel image in the past few days...
And my problems on x86 (a Compaq nx8220 notebook):
There are a lot of dependency problems (alsa, python, gnome-vfs, etc.).
- and a show stopping bug (for me): the installed grub does not work on my machine: when I choose 'windows' from the menu, it reboots, when I choose any of the Linux menu entries, it just freezes, and nothing happens (the wonderfull christmas tree remains on screen).
This one improved a little bit: - Windows boots from the graphical boot menu as well (Linux does not boot from there) - boot of Linux works only from a text boot menu Improvements specific to this notebook: - previously I needed pci=noacpi kernel option to boot, but not any more I still need reboot=bios, other way it just halts, does not reboot. Its a problem during installation as well. Bye, CzP Ps: I can make bugzilla entries, if you want, but AFAIK only release (alpha/beta) problems should be reported there...

Ignore them for now - the switch to new glibc caused some packages not to build, those need to be fixed.

This is something for bugzilla.

Cool.
I still need reboot=bios, other way it just halts, does not reboot. Its a problem during installation as well.

You can file them against factory, just mention it - but don't file everything, see above, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
