Hi, OK, it seems that OpenSuSE 10.3 still is "a little bit" beta so I try it here also. I'm trying to install OpenSuSE 10.3 on an old iP IV-HT with Intel 865G, SATA-HDD and PATA-DVD. I'm doing a new installation (no upgrade from 10.2 which was installed before), selected "minimal graphical system", "XFCE-desktop", "Host-Server for XEN", "Kernel-development" and some others, selected for "/boot", "/", "/usr", "/var" and "swap" the partitions I created with 10.2 and for "/home" the LVM-volume "/dev/vg01/home" I also made with 10.2! The installation is running through and mostly everything works fine IF I start with the default kernel. The only thing is, that I get only 55Hz refresh rate with X11, I tried several monitor-settings (Eizo FlexScan F563, VESA 1024x768@75Hz, VESA 1024x768@85Hz and VESA 1152x8??@75Hz but I don't get more than 55Hz - for me it's not a big problem because I need X11 only for the first configuration, later I'll use ssh for everything else. I also recognized that the naming for the partitions in /etc/fstab changed from 10.2 to 10.3: /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6Y160M0_Y44AGXFE-part1 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 What is the reason for this? Are there any advantages or only the disadvantage that I can't just replace the harddrive after copying over all files? The BIG problem I have that the system does not boot with the XEN-kernel. During boot it tells me that one partition needs a manual fsck.ext3 and stops, checking the partition does not help but the default-kernel still boots without any problems :-( I was able to solve the problem by moving "/home" from the LVM-volume "/dev/vg01/home" to the root-partition "/dev/sda7", but this is not a real solution. After doing so the system now starts, but I have several errors during the boot of the system: ----------------- boot.msg ----------------- Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.22.5-31-xen Loaded 24632 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.6.22.5-31-xen.

Next step would be the creation of a new VM using LVM-volumes for the PV-system and it's data, but if I want to add a new virtual harddisk I can't find "( ) use block-device" ("Block-Gerät verwenden") I had in my 10.2 installation :-( With OpenSuSE 10.2 all the above worked fine, but because the 10.3 comes with Xen 3.10 I really would prefer that if it would work! Thanks a lot for any ideas, -- Chau y hasta luego, Thorolf ------------------------------------------------------------------ e-Mail: mailto:Thorolf@Godawa.de \|/ /'~'\ Homepage: http://www.godawa.de ( o o ) --------------------------------------------------oOOO--(_)--OOOo- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
