Well, you were absolutely right.... I have an A8V board with the Yukon chip.... now with the latest kernel it finally worked:-) Stefan Fent wrote:

I have a dual Pentium III server with SuSE 9.0 as a NIS server exporting the home dir via NFS. If I connect a SuSE 9.1 x86 I can login with a NIS account with no problems at all. If I try to login from my new SuSE 9.2 x86-64 my password is accepted but no graphical desktop (KDE). Be carefull if you have a central account in a NIS server and upgrade to x86_64....
Hmm - this seems to be a rather local problem - we have lots of x86_64 machines here and all have working NIS.
There is a problem with the Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Controller (eg. on ASUS A8V deluxe or ASUS D5000 Laptop), Which locks the machine hard upon mounting nfs shares. But this is resolved with newer kernels.
