Seems it will be the first time, I won't be able to participate in an (open)SUSE beta test. My test computer has the ASUS M2N-MX motherboard. The "noapic" boot parameter needed for 32bit kernels isn't the biggest problem, the nVidia Corporation MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2) interface (perfectly supported under 32bit openSUSE 10.2) is neither recognized nor functions with manually loaded "forcedeth" driver. Meaning the test box has no network available, making testing basically impossible.

Is there a bug number for this? thanks, greg k-h --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Nope, since there is too much trouble to supply all the information to Bugzilla from a box that is not connected to the internet. That is exactly why my internal beta test rules tell me: bow out. Plus: either only my MCP61 ethernet chip is not supported then Bugzilla is of no help to, or openSUSE 10.3 does not support the chip in general, then my Bugzilla entry is not needed.

Well, that sounds like a pretty serious kernel regression. And, if you can't report it, well, we can't help fix it. So the odds that it will be fixed for the final 10.3 release is pretty slim. Can you just try booting with the 10.3 kernels on your 10.2 release? That will let you help test and provide us with hopefully enough information to fix this. thanks, greg k-h --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

But you do have a machine with internet connection since you were able to send this mail ;-)

Please boot 10.3 beta1 on the problematic system, switch to a bash-prompt by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2, plug in a usb-stick and run

- mount /dev/sda /mnt # resp. sdb, sdc or whereever the usb stick appears - hwinfo > /mnt/hwinfo - dmesg > /mnt/dmesg # (see below) - umount /mnt

done, by double reboot, without USB stick ;-); Bug 299141 FMF --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
