System is on an EeePC 900, I had Milestone 8 running just fine. I upgraded with zypper dup from Milestone 8 to Rc1. So far I had been using this USB GSM modem with wvdial quite swimmingly. (I never got it to work with Network Manager although it works fine in 11.0.) Now, when it is connected it freezes everything totally and this is /var/log/messages: Oct 16 13:13:29 linux su: (to root) linux on /dev/pts/2 Oct 16 13:14:26 linux kernel: [ 260.296061] usb 3-2: new

I thought I'll try a fresh install since this one has been upgraded several times and it's been perhaps borked somehow during my experiments. I attached a USB CD drive and booted from NET install CD. The installation stops to USB drivers somewhere in "lookin.for update something" Can't go on. I put the Live KDE image on a USB stick and booted from it. It boots but when I attach the Huawei thingy the above messages is what I get. The worst is that I had Milestone 8 working nicely but I've somehow lost it's install image, I can't go back. Can the previous netinstall image still be obtained from somewhere?
