Odd situation when installing SuSE Pro 9.3 on Tyan 2895
Hello, I'm setting up a Tyan 2895 with dual 250's, 2 SATA HD, 2 GB Kingston RAM, BIOS 1.01. At the end of the SuSE install, you're given the option to test the connection to the Internet, and download the latest release notes. Both work fine. Then you're given the choice to perform an online update via YOU. This is when things get weird: Most of the time (I've done this a few times), after a while of downloading the updates, the process will just freeze. I found out that what happens is that both ethernet ports simply stop receiving. When I get to another virtual console, I cannot ping the nearby machines (request times out). Both ports simply stop working. It is necessary to physically cut the power for the ports to work again. So far, it only happens with YOU. I know the switch and cables are not to blame (and neither the internet connection) for this problem does not happen while installing 9.3 on a 2885 on the same segment. Any ideas?

Do you get messages in your kernel ring buffer (just type "dmesg" to view it) when it is happening? Bye, Steffen
