[opensuse-factory] Where Is The Factory Boot CD Image?
Hi, I have successfully installed 10.2 Alpha5 on a new system. With the exception of one of its two (different) Marvel Ethernet interfaces being unrecognized (and the known issues), it's working fairly well. Now I'm considering installing factory packages. According to http://en.opensuse.org/Development_Version there is a network install option and I'd like to give this a try. It refers to a boot CD image that is used to start the system up and perform network installs: -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- Workflow for the Internet Installation 1. Download the boot CD image from the table below 2. Burn the boot CD image. 3. Boot your computer from the boot CD. 4. Point the YaST installer to the installation repository (by pressing F3 and then F4) 5. Install SUSE Linux. -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- Unfortunately, I cannot find the boot CD image--I can't even find the "table below." Can someone point me to the boot CD image? Thanks.

Thanks. Now, a follow-up question: I downloaded, burned and booted that disc. I pointed it (via F4 -> FTP) at the FTP mirror at mirrors.kernel.org. As I noted on the openSUSE Wiki page http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Desktops/Asus, to use the Marvell 88E8001 Ethernet interface, you have to override the default (and blacklisted) sklin98 module with skge. So my question is: How do I perform the equivalent assignment or loading of skge so the network hardware can be accessed? Is there a kernel command-line option?

sk98lin should have been dropped some time ago. No idea why that didn't happen. Maybe open a bug to get that sorted out.

It looks like someone already filed this one, which covers my situation exactly: - Bug #180821 - https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=180821 "During first phase of installation setup assigned properly forcedeth module to PHY controller ICS1883AF so I could install software. During second step (post first reboot) installer assigned skge module to nvidia PHY controller ICS1883AF. On the first occasion during second step network controller configuration, I dod not check settings (because these were correct for the first step of installation and network worked). After second reboot, network failed, home partition was not loaded (missing hostname). I had run Yast from command line and corrected module selection on PHY controller ICS1883AF from skge to forcedeth, mounted home partition and reboot system. This time all worked." This is pretty much what happened to me with my Asus P5B. Instead of using YaST to fix the problem, I edited a system configuration file in /etc/sysconfig/hardware/.
