Again I needed to reload openSuSE 11.4 because a NET load of 12.1 failed to boot. What failed was Desktop however, failsafe would boot. I think it was a option in /boot/grub/menu.lst that this unit did not like. Now I have 11.4 up again and it works ok, but it has NO hostname in a login screen or uname -a . Yet /etc/HOSTNAME is set and /etc/hosts is correct and all entries in it can be reached with ping. Yast2 was checked for a Hostname and it was correct.
All logins show "(none)" and so does "/bin/hostname".
This is a Asus M4A7TD 4G X86-64 and NVidia GT-440. which is working
Don, have you read other posts in this list concerning not being able to login initially after installing 12.1-M1? Seems that the default session (KDE) has a problem. The workaround is to select plasma desktop in the session popup in the lower left corner of the login window. That only has to be done the first time.
