[opensuse-factory] problem with external USB harddisk

Got a problem with my external USB Harddisk (Storagebird, 1TB). The kernel (2.6.31-rc7-4-default, 32bit) detects the disc, but does immediately an device reset. After that, the device doesn't show up any more in lsusb and must be powercycled. Happens with the machines direct USB ports and USB hub.

[opensuse-factory] M6, Netinstall.

Hi, Some things are strange to me: 1) You have to mark addons, else you get 127pkgs, very many dep problems, and an unbootable system. (i would think there should be a warning about that happening, because there is no preselection on addons, but there is one at autoconfig. Is this intentional, or should i file a bug about that?) When marking the addons checkbox, one enters a page with much too many options, imho, for new users very confusing. I was glad the community sources were available, because i did not have an url handy... 2) The gui doesn't work, so ncurses takes 2th part of installation. 3) Still need sax2 to setup x. I thought since the discussion about that, there would be a working alternative. But i was very glad sax2 was around to setup my monitor :) It took me the whole day to setup a working 11.2 M6. pkgs bundle-lang-gnome-nl and bundle-lang-gnome-en (probably all others also) are badly broken. They keep trying to install, and the only thing to do is ctrl+alt+del to quit and start the install new, after unmarking these 2 pkgs for install during pkg-controle, in the installer At this point, i am very serious, when asking to bring back a 'skip','ignore' and 'retry' button, in the installer, at the point of installing pkgs. Those buttons could be 'hidden' under the 'cancel' button, to complete the dialog there is now: 'abort' and 'continue'. When there are pkgs broken in the repo, there has to be a way to continue the install, without starting all over again. I think everybody would agree on that? This would be for proper use of the netinstaller.. The partitioner works great! Just one click from the imported mountpoints, to change a partition, very nice.. ;) The look and feel of the installer are improved also, and 'back' works now flawless. ifup also works, not talking about wifi here, cause i did not try that yet. I am glad i have a working M6 now.. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

[opensuse-factory] M6 grub gone: workaround?

Hi, I updated all pkgs to M6 just now.. But no booting. Not able to install a new bootloader. Old 11.1 install could be booted via the 11.1Final DVD, but 11.2 M6 could not. I remember a thread about that trap, but as i donot have those mails on this os, what to do to get 11.2 M6 booting? -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball, aka M9.
