I then saw the new patch in Bjorn's pnp patchset and here is the kiso test boot media: My first kiso, hope it works out even I saw: Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660 The idea is to boot the fixed kernel, then exchange the installation media with your original one. You find a i386 and x86_64 kiso to boot and test here: ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/pnp_ide_irq_fix/
From kiso README:
When using together with regular installation media, 1. Boot with kISO and select operation to perform from the boot menu. Boot loader loads kernel and initrd images into memory. 2. Wait until boot loader finishes loading. 3. All the needed contents from the kISO are contained in kernel and initrd images, so kISO can be removed from the drive once boot loader finishes loading. Remove kISO media from the drive and put in release installation media. 4-1. If the release installation media was put in before hardware probe is complete, installation system starts and proceeds the same way. 4-2. If the media was put in too late, linuxrc will complain that it can't find product repository and activate manual setup. Nothing to worry about. You just need to press enter a few more times. Proceed to #5. 5. Make sure the release installation media is in the drive and select language and keyboard map. It will give you Main Menu. Select "Start Installation or System" -> "Start Installation or Update" -> "CD-ROM". All the selections are the default, so just pressing enter several times is enough. linuxrc will report that no update was found which can be safely ignored. Installation continues as usual. Because manual mode was activated, installation system will ask a few more questions. Other installation sources can be selected from step 5 as in any other installation media. If kISO is used, the installation system installs kernel RPM from kISO such that the updated kernel is used from the first boot after installation. The kernel RPM is installed using 'rpm --nodeps' after all other packages are installed. Beware that it might violate some dependencies if other packages which depend on the kernel version are installed. -- 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.
