I've stumbled across some issues wrt SuSE 6.3's install that I hope to see fixed in 6.4, but I'm not on the beta list, so I hope this is the appropriate forum.
- The stock SuSE kernel appears to be compiled with the "Probe all SCSI LUNs" option enabled. The Yamaha CRW4416 CD-RW doesn't like this at all, and YaST2 hangs while scanning the SCSI bus.
- YaST1 appears not to include a SCSI driver for the Initio 9100/UW (I'm pretty sure 6.2 had them.)
- Since I also have IDE disks, I can skip SCSI detection and just install with YaST1. However, if I then 'modprobe initio' after install, the driver hangs (due to the LUN probing issue above.) Recompiling the kernel with LUN probing disabled solves the problem nicely.
- RedHat 6.1's stock kernel has modular support for matroxfb, and their 6.2 beta has integrated support. Since 6.3's kernel supported vesafb, is there any chance that matroxfb will be in 6.4? It seems fairly harmless (besides extra kernel bloat, but that's a non-issue if it's compiled as a module.)
Thanks, and keep up the good work ...

Ok, if we are going to ask for improvements: Why does yast1 keep asking for the floppy when booting from CD or DVD and attempting to load one of the modules of the module-diskette ? Could this be changed please.
