Hi, I decided last evening to update my 10.3 system to 11.0 beta1. First of all, I have no problem running unstable versions of software, I use the KDE svn regularly and used (open)SUSE's previous releases starting from late alpha/beta state. Still, this 11.0 beta1 was a bad experience. Here are the problems I saw (with bug numbers); 1) first of all, the installer failed to find a repository on the DVD. I found that if I give dvd:///devices=/dev/hdc it will work. Funny, that /dev/sr0 also works from the console, but not from yast. Bug 383896. 2) so after I found how to go forward, I tried to update the system. IT failed to find and mount my partitions, I had to give the partition type (vfat, ext3) manually. Bug 384133. 3) After this step the Installation media showed no available repositories. I did not file a BR for this, but I can do if it makes sense. 4) Upgrade started, the total percentage went quickly to 100%, sat there for a while and fall back to 0% and remained there until the upgrade finished. Bug 384134. 5) System was rebooted, complains that fsck failed for /dev/sdb4. Turned out that the fstab is wrong that should be /dev/sda4. Bug 384133 (again). 6) corrected the fstab, rebooted the system (ctrl-d). And here came the disaster. Instead of getting a grub menu, the pc kept rebooting itself forever. So when it started from boot from the disk, it rebooted. No error, nothing on the screen, just reboot forever. Bug 384136. 7) Tried to fix the bootloader both with rescure disc, repair system and manually. No luck, same symptoms, so I had to reinstall the system over the broken installation, whatever will happen because of this. Bug 384136. 8) So the reinstall... After getting through the issue 1) I choose to install over the existing system. I had to use the expert partitioner, otherwise it would format two of my partitions that held data, not the old OS, and confirm that I really want to overwrite an existing system. I saw a visual bug: the percentage used in the progressbar is white on white, so it is not visible until around 50% is reached. Bug 384137/ 9) Reboot, yast starts, and gives an error: "No workflow defined for this installation mode" and exits. So I remained with an unfinished installation. Bug 384138. 10) I noticed a warning on boot: java: serif (and sans serif) fonts not found for Japanese/Chinese languages. I don't use those languages, so I did not report as a bug, but I mention it here. 11) during installation I was prompted to enter an user name, password, etc. When first time kdm start I tried to log in as that user (an user that already existed under 10.3, so it had its home dir during install time). I couldn't, and I found it why: the user was not created. I had to create it again manually. May be because of 9). Bug 384140. 12) Display was not configured, I ended up with an 1024x768@60Hz. Might be again because of 9). Fonts are ugly. :( Now I'm trying to make things work and look nice, as at least I can boot in the system. After hours spent fixing it...
