Hi,

For a cluster of 1U dual Opteron nodes, each node has 8GB RAM and running SuSE9.1 for AMD64, is there a better way to upgrade the OS to SuSE9.2 on these nodes? to remove the extra RAM to 2GB, install/upgrade to SuSE9.2, download and installed SuSE kernel patch, and re-install RAM back on these nodes seems too much work.

The ftp installation (but not the DVD ISO) have the newest kernel with the patch included, Andreas

It would be desirable to have a SuSE9.2 DVD with the kernel patch included.

Best regards

I'm not sure whether you have read the following, so I want to announce it now: http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional/downloads/suse_linux/index....

We have released our FTP installation for both x86-64 (AMD64, EM64T) and x86 - and also an 3.5 GB installable ISO image that supports both x86-64 and x86.

Have fun!

I think you could try the MiniCD ISO, it's about 64MB big. Don't know if it will work from USB Pen Drives, though, never tried it. HTH Mike --- Alexandre Moutinho Santos wrote:

I'm installing SuSE in a industrial PC that has no floppy or CD-ROM, only the normal USB ports in the motherboard. Is there any boot image for USB Pen Drives (128, 256 MB)?

Is it possible to upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2 without downloading CD? Just change installation source in yast2 and do online update?

I would not recommend to do so. Even if this works somehow, this is not an officially supported way to do an upgrade and your system may not be updated properly.

Or even better, any experiences with apt for suse http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/? Is apt supported by suse or is it only gwdg.de initiative? Any experience with update using apt?

This is not supported by SUSE.

Why apt? Imagine cluster with hundred of nodes and need for security update on all nodes. With apt I can do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade (or just apt-get install one_package). How can I do this with yast, without need of interactive work (clicking in menus)?

Just run online_update. Robert -- Robert Schiele Tel.: +49-621-181-2214 Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@uni-mannheim.de

Hi, I have some difficulties in installing SuSE9.2 on my Athlon64 3500+ PC, if someone has solved this problem before, please provide me some help. 1. My PC has 4 1Gb DDR400 RAM and 1 Athlon64 3500+ (939), ASUS-SLI Delux motherboard with 2 ASUS N6600GT graphic cards. 2. Before installing SuSE9.2, I updated the motherboard's BIOS to the latest version. 3. After installed SuSE9.2 from the DVD with 2GB RAM on the motherboard, I proceeded on-line update to 2.6.8-24.11-default.x86_64, then I install all 4 1GB memory back to the motherboard and reboot the system. With command top, I found only 2.8GB memory recognized by the system. I wondoer if this is normal? or the updated kernel is still not able to recognize 4GB of memory?
