When you say manually you mean doing all patches by hand, not using 8.1 CD to do the upgrade, right?
By chance do you know if it was a kernel level bug or SuSE specific?

I cannot seem to install SuSe 8.1 Dual processor and raid controller card. However 8.0 works fine. I spoke with Suse Tech support(not advanced) and they told me of a bug with 8.1, however I'm not able to find reference of the bug or anyway to fix it in any patches available. Does anyone have
any
info or can point me in the right direction to fix this? Thx
I had a similar problem a few months ago (I may have even been one of the initial bug reporters for this). I ran out of time working on it, so my solution was to autoinstall 8.0, then manually upgrade to 8.1.
Good luck, John Young

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...

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.
