At the time the problem I report occurs, there is not even a configuration of the harddisk. And you cannot get further as the openSUSE installer does not recognize the card at that point in time. The problem once again: -> boot from mini iso -> select insert module for network card (the network card being i.e. a plain isa card) -> load the module. -> conifgure the card by ifconfig / set the route / the IP whatever is required on a different terminal than the installation terminal (i.e. ALT-F4). -> the yast menu will keep saying that there is not network card available though it definitively is (verified: ping works etc!). -> you cannot circumvent this problem thus there will be no entries in the logs as the installer does not come across the point where it keeps hammering you with the request for installing the network card. The installer will insist in not finding the network card. This is far apart from configuring the harddisk and writing anything to it. Therefore you cannot find the information you like to see in the logs as they do not stem from those events. How to verify? Use some isa card in any old PC or set a PNP-Card to ISA mode (this is what I did for different reasons). -- 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 hope this clarifies things In fact no ;-) but I'll take some machine with ISA card and will try to reproduce

If a network card module has been loaded successfully the return value of the load command could be used as an indicator whether or not to proceed in the network install section. This is about all that would be neccessary. And I cannot see a single reason why this should be complicated or whatsoever. You will argue that those cards are old, yes, your're right, but I always thought that linux has the advantage of running even on old and otherwise hard to use hardware - apparently openSUSE leaves this path. Just my 2 cents here ...

So, if you know the maintainer, big please: reassign it. I thought that this program - though looking different than YaST or YaST2 anyway was related to YaST - but I was totally wrong. This again shows how important it is to precisely describe what one is doing to clarify the situation. Thank you for lookint into and thank you for the pointer.
