I expect to try workround the problems with 11.1rc1 this week on this box, though I am rather tempted to go back to "good old" SuSE 8.2 on it, as it's main purpose now is to provide access to some tapes, and is usually switched off. 11.1rc1 I've tried installing on a BP6 with a disk on the HPT366 controller 11.1 rc1, it hung up, I've had previous isssues with 10.3, which I worked round eventually (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=338319 ) At time of 10.3 I had similar troubles, reported in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=338319 The last boot up message before locking up with the IDE light on is :
OpenSUSE Installation program .... Starting udev...
Simplifying and using 1 system disk on the mobo PATA/33 controller, rather than 2 mirrored disks on PATA/33 and HPT366 PATA/66, allowed boot to proceed and the hardware was detected correctly. As I don't think installation ever worked (not 7.1, 7.3 nor 8.0 or 8.2, nor 10.3 and not Ubuntu nor Debian), with a system disk on the HPT366 (though booting off it did, once the right initrd was made), I doubt if it's very important to fix now, so long as post-installation the controller works reliably. -- 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.
