Earlier versions of SuSE / OpenSuSE ran (albeit slowly) on low-end machines - YaST installation detecting the lack of RAM and requesting swap before continuing.
Tried 10.3 Beta-1 (KDE single CD) on one such (Pentium-1, 133 MHz, 80 M RAM, 2G HDD with swap already prepared - runs OSL 10.0 at present). Install (standard and 'safe settings' tried) aborts with a kernel panic 'out of memory' shortly after 'moving into tmpfs', no attempt to ask for swap.
Is this expected / intended behaviour? - in which case it might be nice to warn potential users! Very little on the wiki about minimum spec...
Does booting with 'addswap=-1' help?
Steffen,
Thanks for the suggestion but no joy. I tried this both in standard and 'safe settings' installation, also 'rescue system' - still does a kernel panic at the same place.
Are there any other options to this boot parameter? Where would I find a list?
It's at http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc. You might try '_tmpfs=0'. Steffen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
