When you say manually you mean doing all patches by hand, not using 8.1 CD to do the upgrade, right?
No, when I say "manually", I mean not using autoyast2/autoinstall. Using the 8.1 CD interactively is a "manual" install (although granted it does automate a large number of tasks). If I remember correctly, I was not able to autoinstall SuSE 8.1 nor install it interactively from the CD with an Adaptec RAID controller controlling the boot drives, but I was able to autoinstall 8.0, then upgrade to 8.1 using the 8.1 CD. At least that's how I vaguely recall things...
By chance do you know if it was a kernel level bug or SuSE specific?
I don't know. I think it *might* have something to do with modules.conf, but I'm really not sure. Again, since I was only dealing with one machine and was running short on time, I had to move on. John Young
