I've loaded 8.2 on an HP kyak xm600 (not smp) with no problem this weekend. I loaded the user functions that I use and the server functions. The load was via the CD and was quick and easy. I only had to load three of the CDs. (I guess the copression of the files on the CDs is better now.) Setting up the system was easier than 7.2. This system has only a SCSI drive on it and the system set up for it without me having to do a thing. I've worked with some of the user functions such as konqueror, KDE, windowmaker and some others. So far all is cool. I will be checking vmware on it. I don't believe vmware has blessed 8.x yet. I may keep the machine on which I use vmware at 7.2 until vmware checks it out. Other things to check will be postfix, apache, and DNS along with the firewall. I want to put this machine in a DMZ for service to my clients. Good job SuSE, KurtRR -- Kurt R.

There's a version of VMware that ships with 8.2. It's an older version (3.1.1), but I tried it out so as to use as much of SuSE's distro as possible. I kept the same WinXP virtual machine I was using under Red Hat 9 and VMware 3.2. I had it hose up my machine twice. Only a reboot would reset the VMware processes. (And one of those times, it locked the machine hard.) So I blew away 3.1.1 and installed my downloaded 3.2, and everything's been fine since. There may be patches for 3.1.1, but I didn't look, since I thought it would be really silly to ship something that needed patches. Even if it did, I wouldn't have access to it as I didn't buy support. I don't know if it's because I created my virtual machine in 3.2 originally, and I didn't create a new VM to find out. The bottom line: 3.2 seems to be working great. Just remember that in either case, you'll need to install the kernel source, AND you need to do a `make oldconfig && make dep' in order to complete the `vmware-config.pl'. Regards, dk

I have not been able to get 3.2 to work at all with 8.2. When I start it up, it seems to want to run ok but when I hit the 'power on' (Win98SE) VMw folds its tent... gone.

Hrm. That's what 3.1.1 was doing to me. This is over my head already. Regards, dk
Hi David! suse support db to the rescue: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/fhassel_vmware_segfault81.html this will cure the segfault problem. -- michael On Mon, 21 Apr 2003, David Krider wrote:

When you start vmware from the shell and hit the 'power on', is there a error message in the shell? larry
