You must quit the application before you can continue." Error occurs all type of installation [NFS/HTTP/FTP/Hard Disk]. Machine : P55A CPU type : Power 5 =Comment: #3=================================================

2. Are you observing this problem only on P55A model? I have tried in other machines and it is reproducible.

3. Did you try a dvd based installation? Its a dvd based installation through NFS/HTTP/FTP/Hard Disk. I didn't give a try with CD/DVD drive.

4. If the yast configuration file used is not the default one, please attach that also. Its default one.

1. What type of installation do you choose? -Do you choose to remove all partitions? -Do you choose to only use free space? -Do you choose to only remove linux partitions? 1.5 Or are you doing an update of the System from Beta2 to Beta3? |-- export UpdateDir="/linux/suse/ppc-11.0" This error occurs in "Sytem Probing" phase of installation, i.e it scans for systems existing

2. Does this problem also occur if you first fsck the target installation disk? Yes.

3. To confirm, this problem *did not* occur on beta2? Problem did not occur on beta2

4. To confirm, you *are not* seeing this problem on other machines? No. I am seeing this problem on other machines too.

5. Have you previously been able to successfully install from: |-- export ServerIP="9.124.111.70" |-- export Serverdir="/pub/suse/" There is one more bug on that. Please see bug 49448 - [Installation of openSUSE-11.1 Beta3 fails during all kind of installation [NFS/FTP/HTTP/Hard Disk] saying "valid metadata not found at specified URL" and "Signature verification failed for content".]
