Has anyone done an upgrade from SuSE 9.3 to 10 yet? How was the experience, did it work? do i need to watch out for anything?
Did work here on two notebooks - Vaio PCG-C1XD (PII/400) and Targa Traveller 826 (Turion64).
The Turion notebook needed "irqpoll" as boot parameter; it would freeze at "scanning USB devices" without.
Started 9.3 -> Beta2, then Beta3, then Beta4, then RC1.
How did you upgrade?
(Boot from the 10 CD and select upgrade, or run YaST from within 9.3)
It would not work from inside 9.3 (at least that was my opinion- didn't try). So for 9.3 -> Beta2, I fetched boot/loader/initrd and boot/loader/linux (for the P-II/400) resp. boot/loader/initrd64 and boot/loader/linux64 (for the Turion64) and built LILO boot targets. Then booting the target and installing via NFS, using a realtek 8139 PC card. The steps "inside" 10.0 worked well without booting: just calling YaST2, Software, setting new installation source (NFS again), "System Update". Network interface was an Atheros PC card - WLAN would not work during a CD boot. ;-)) Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
