[opensuse-factory] Alpha DVD installation woes
I've recently installed the Alpha DVD iso for 11.0 and encountered serveral problems. Took darn near 50 hours to get the DVD downloaded via bittorrent. Wonder if others have experienced it as well? An overview first: This is a Dell SC420 PowerEdge Server box. It has both an onboard Intel e7221 video card and NVidia 7300 GS videocard. 750GB SATA drive, 2GB RAM, a sound card, scsi card (unused), It is set up to tri-boot with Alpha/10.3/SLES 10SP1. All are new installs. Previously, it was used as a SLES server. 1) The very first problem encountered, sax2 wouldn't start. At this time, I was hooked up to the onboard video card. The 10.3 install also encountered the same problem. When I did the install again with the Nvidia card installed, sax2 issues went away. Only SLES would start up with Intel. Looks like Intel e7221 is unsupported in 10.3 and above. A bug has been filed talking about this issue. 2) During the yast install process, I could not click on options when proposal screens came up. For example, when it came up with "Partitioning, Software, Locale", I could not click on those options. But I could change the options by selecting the "Change" button at the bottom. 3) SLES and 10.3, yast detected the sound card. Alpha yast says sound card is 'nil'. 4) All three detect the onboard gigabit NIC. However, Alpha leaves it as unconfigured/unused, even though I have set it to use DHCP. As a consequence, presently, I am unable to go out and get any updates that might fix the problem. I'm sure I should be filing bugs on all the above issues, but I wanted to investigate more and see if similar experiences exist before I do anything more. -- ---Bryen--- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

This one is listen on the Most Annoying Bugs page for 11.0 alpha0 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=346158 (solved) Fo all Alpha/Beta/RC, be sure to regularly consult http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.0_dev it can save you some hours of headaches sometimes. For the other bugs, I guess either you should file reports (or check if some are already opened).

Wasn't sure if it was the same one since it was worded differently than I worded it. Which is why I posted to ask first here. :-) > > Fo all Alpha/Beta/RC, be sure to regularly consult > http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.0_dev > it can save you some hours of headaches sometimes. > > For the other bugs, I guess either you should file reports (or check if some are already opened). > Yes, but I'm not the type to simply file "it doesn't work" bugs. I like to know if others find the same function issues or not. Then I can investigate further so I can provide any productive information to the bug report. So, I'd like to know, does anyone else have sound card doesn't work and NIC doesn't work issues too? > Dominique > -- ---Bryen--- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
