https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=339640#c10 --- Comment #10 from Robert Davies <rob.opensuse.linux@googlemail.com> 2007-11-15 15:38:54 MST --- Thanks. I just realised something!! I have a box I intend to be the Internet GW, install 10.3 on it, update the kernel, then have problems... Looks like a network card has died which is going out to the internet on the other machine. I take out that DE-528 card (ne2kpci) driver, put it in the old GW box, taking out a 3com Etherlink III card. But there's issues with Promise controller, making things nasty. So I take this known good card, and put it in the GE 8300 GS machine, then I try and install Kubuntu (OS10.3 bugs have put me off and I wanted to try the KDE Ubuntu system temporarily). But Kubuntu won't install claiming media failure, so I decide after all to go with the "trusty" SuSE who never let me down... I install, and everything fine, until my kernel's updated and I reboot. Then I have to switch around network cards, as the DE-528 ne2kpci card suddenly seems to have a hardware error. Oddly I get it running in Vista, but not Vista's ICS (probably a M$ limitation). So I need SuSE working. Actually this machine may be a partial install. I have to do net installs, or I can't reboot the kernel, but in this case my Internet Ethernet NIC was screwed by the kernel update to 2.6.22.9. Therefore, when I got networking on the internal interface, now the Internet Interface, I had an interrupted install. May be this explains why I had VESA and such, although I would try to pick up all the hardware configuration, and it would look like it was the same, and up to date; may be this stalled installation wasn't? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
