It would be most useful if you could capture the output via a serial console. -- 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.

The result will be captured automatically by screen in screenlog.0 (or .1, .2, etc if others exist) -- 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.

I'm finding out how to direct it not to do that. In the meantime, can you see if 'sleep 1' hangs on the console as well? -- 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.

if you need me to do more tests on the hardware, it has to be ASAP because I have to ship the server today and afterwards it will no longer be available for testing.

Thank you for your support!

Ok, most of the Novell kernel development staff is at our annual conference right now. I'll bounce this over to someone who normally handles network hardware drivers, and maybe he'll be able to help you before you have to ship the server out. -- 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.

Since forcedeth driver did work on my testmachine with 10.3 and we do not have this hardware in our labs, we can not do so much now, so I can only close it as won't fix. -- 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.

Rule #1: when hardware does not work as expected, update firmware first. In this case, the server was shipped with a buggy BIOS version, updating solved it: - openSUSE 10.3 does no longer stop on "insmod forcedeth", - openSUSE 10.2 does no longer need "noacpi" to boot. Probably something in the ACPI tables, maybe interrupts or the like, was broken. This bugreport can be closed for good. I am choosing INVALID as it was no OS error, ok?
