Richard, If you red my original description, it stated that I've test installed 64-bit SuSE 9.1 on the same machine without any problems. What the hell is going on with 9.2? We've already bought over 25 sets of SuSE 9.2 Pro (Update) for all our eng. dept. I won't be able to justify to our purchasing dept.
Now the facts come to light. You and your company went out and bought 25 copies, without even testing it. Good thinking. I realize that you thought it would work, but with the change in ownership, might it not have been prudent to check one copy out first? Sure would have save money.
your option/proposition to buy another 25 sets of more expensive SLES9 for all our computers, to achieve virtually the same functionality. 9.2 shall work on our 64 bit platforms as it advertised! End of story!
One other thing. You expect the SUSE staff to be on this list?? They haven't been here in a while. Yes, there are a couple of folks that stop by, but for the most part, they don't hang around just waiting to solve all the problems that come up on this list. Been that way for years. The re-organization and folks leaving have left this list mainly to folks that frequent it. Definitely not the SUSE staff.
Since we're all entitled for 60 days installation support we'll have to bug and create living hell for Novell/SuSE support staff in order to resolve this problem.
That's your best bet. Register all 25 or so copies, and have at it. You might get their attention. Then again, with the number of copies sold, you might have to just take a number and wait.
