https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304535 Summary: Install fails due to LAN card not setup requiring reboot Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mario_bz@mgtech.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I installed and allowed the repositories to be added during install. This worked fine but when the lan configuration appeared the device was set as "unknown" and configured. If this was allowed to continue the next steps (Saving Remote Config/Config display manager) would hang and loop trying to download items. There was no way out except to hit reset and reboot several times trying to figure out what was going on, the ABORT button did not work. Since no lan activity took place I figured it might be the lan interface. I then did a reboot and during the lan config I deleted the unknown device and then the correct device showed up immediately. I did a config and continued but the same problem occurred. Another reboot was required to activate the device correctly and installation proceeded ok but there were other problems. They may be due to the fact xfsprogs was missing and the filesystem did not get checked (another problem number). So the problem could be that during the first installation lan setup to load repositories the correct device is not set even though the downloads worked. The second problem is that even if I have to correct the lan by deleting/adding a reboot is required. I think the device should be activated at that time. A reboot seems dangerous since there is no soft shutdown allowed during installation. The device is a 88E8052 and the sky2 driver was correctly used for the unknown device but would not work until I deleted and added using sky2. Also, I wonder if this is related to bug 286106.
