https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=266188 Summary: network device not found during manual install to Xserve G5 despite loading tg3 module Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 3 Platform: PowerPC-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: harbaugh@ncifcrf.gov QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I attempted to do a manual install via tftp.

I tried to do the install in a gui mode with install=http://... set, but it fails and falls back into manual mode I also cannot seem to break into any sort of shell from manual mode. Is there a way to start a shell from manual mode before the installation is successfully started?

Either he control keys don't provide access to a shell like they do for gui install modes, or else the installation has not yet reached the point where a shell is available. What source package is used to build 'inst64', the installer boot image? If I look at that I can probably find a way to generate more information to debug this Thanks, Toni -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

But in the current Factory initrd64 and linux64.gz are missing. Are they needed by the installer? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
