Thanks Ken but the bios only enables or disables both lan interfaces. If I can't find a better solution I will disable both interfaces and then stick ANOTHER NIC in the box, configure with that, turn back on the other two interfaces, configure them and then unistall the first NIC card and take it out. I know this is a pain but it looks like the best way right now. Robert On Wednesday, April 9, 2003, at 11:38 AM, Ken Schneider wrote:
Can/have you/tried to disable one of the cards in the bios?
This might allow you to do the install and turn the other card back on in the bios.

I just got a reply back from SuSE that troubles me a little. Basically, they do not provide installation support for SMP based systems. But they did point out that I could purchase a support package. So I guess I am back to solving this one on my own (unless a kind sole has a suggestion.) I seem to remember that Redhat provided installation support for SMP systems. Does anyone know off of the top of their head?
Thanks everyone!

O.K.
I have build three systems and upgraded a 8.0 to 8.1 over the last couple of weeks and have had some problems:
1) It looks like that USB keyboards and Mice don't work but default. In 8.0 I configured the system them changed to the USB device and that was it. This is not true in 8.1.
2) When installing 8.0 or 8.1 on a SMP system with two NIC cards the networking does not work. I always have to pull one of the cards, get the networking up and running and then install the second card. I messed with one of my systems in 8.0 and got it working and then promptly forgot about it think it would be fixed in the next release. Well it is not and I my system has two NICs on the motherboard so I can't just pull one like before. Besides I would really like to document the problem this time around. So has anyone else seen this?
3) Has anyone worked with any of the file systems that support large files ( greater than 1 or 2 gigs?) I use Reiser but maybe it is time to look at one of the other file systems if Reiser does not support this?
4) I know that there has been a lot of bandwidth on the system shutdown behavior with the SMP kernels but really isn't it about time for SuSE to fix this? I mean really, all of the system house have this working, why do we need to recompile the kernel just for this? The behavior should be the same between the single CPU and multi-CPU kernels out of the box.
I am not trying to flame I just think that after two years of seeing the same issues they should be fixed. And before you say get the compiler and the source I pay for the upgrades from SuSE and I want to be a "USER" on these issues so I pay them by purchasing the upgrades.
Thanks if anyone can help. I also sent a similar request into SuSE support so I will let you know what I here if anyone is interested.
