Hi everyone, openSUSE 11.1 Alpha2 is available and ready for testing. This time it is actually installable and bootable ;) But you'll need to be quick and select the right boot option from the bootmenu. Due to bug #418619, "Failsafe" is the default boot option. Please make sure to always select real "openSUSE 10.0.42 - 2.6.26-14" option! On x86_64, please make sure to always disable the image-based installation from the summary screen, before the actual instllation starts! There will be no LiveCD with this Alpha, but we are planning on doing an Alpha2plus LiveCD next week. openSUSE 11.1 Alpha2 is available from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-Alpha2/iso/ Please also refer to http://software.opensuse.org/developer for further details and all the direct links. Known issues / workarounds: - image-based installation on x86_64 will not work without problem, as the images on the ISO don't match the RPMs. You'll get errors around "unable to remove pam-config". Workaround: always disable image-based installation on x86_64! - Bug 418619: Failsafe kernel is default in menu.lst Important: Please make sure to boot the right kernel -- failsafe can cause trouble on some maschines - Bug 418592: gdm doesn't start on some maschines - Bug 418577: Bootloader: cannot update the dynamic configuration policy - Bug 418729: Could not find /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_... - various AutoYast-related bugs * Bug 418574: AutoYast is ManualYast in 2nd stage * Bug 418707: Firewall services still enabled although disabled in Autoyast profile * Bug 418568: uuidgen missing Happy testing, Christoph -- Christoph Thiel, Tech.
