------- Comment #50 from sndirsch@... 2006-10-23 06:47 MST ------- Please retest with Beta1 - to be releaesd this week - by installing from a CD, since this is an installation, which we can reproduce.
Either Dirsch or I seem to be misunderstanding what factory ftp is and/or is for. Why does Dirsch seem to think I need to waste my time burning and installing from CD instead of just installing from FTP? Does Dirsch not understand that even after 10.2 is released that FTP installs will need to succeed? Does Dirsch not understand that retests only from DVD or CD mean that retests get delayed and could prevent a fix from being found and verified prior to release date? Is Dirsch the only Novell person capable of trying to recreate this bug or verify a fix? From Dirsch's comments in this and other bugs it seems he has limited resources at his disposal. Aren't i81x chipsets rather common? Why has this bug been open so long?
I have worked with Mr Dirsch and I find him very reasonable to work with. I think the point trying to be made is that when beta1 is released this week factory will be frozen for a couple days and that testing during this time will allow a set point that a good comparison can be made. Factory is constantly changing and may be broken at any time. The Beta 1 will be a known working point that things can easily be used to reference and verify/trouble shoot/fix the bug. I do not see the request as being unreasonable to the reasons I have mentioned above. I find all the SuSE developers very willing to fix real problems when they can be verified and replicated so the bugs can be found and fixed. My gratitude goes out to all the People both in an out of Novell working to make this the best distribution.
