CD & DVD install Boots fail after selecting "Install" from Yaboot. There is a message about Allocating Memory then a wait, and finally a "read error" Message. I tried Multiple CD & DVD's on 3 different Systems. I then Tried Network Booting the inst64 image which may have shown where the problem lies. I get the following suggesting The Image is too big. ----------------------------------------------------------------- OOTP: chosen-network-type = ethernet,100,rj45,full BOOTP: server IP = 0.0.0.0 BOOTP: requested filename = BOOTP: client IP = 0.0.0.0 BOOTP: client HW addr = 0 2 55 6a c6 99 BOOTP: gateway IP = 0.0.0.0 BOOTP: device /pci@3fffde09000/pci@b/ethernet@1 BOOTP: loc-code U1.9-P2-I1/E1 BOOTP: Cancel = ctl-C BOOTP S = 1 BOOTP R = 2 FILE: zImage.rego21 Load Addr=0x4000 Max Size=0x10000000 Packet Count = 24500 ERROR: Large client image. But Not allowed to split!!! FINAL File Size = 12566528 bytes. .---------------------------------. | No Operating Systems Installed | `---------------------------------' Press any key to continue.......... --------------------------------------------------------------------- SLES10 Works fine from CD or Netboot, so it is only an issue with the OpenSuse combined Kernel & Installer image. Is there a work around, such as booting separate Kernel & initrd?? -- 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.
