I've had the 11.3M7 NET CD rescue system fail to start on some piece of fairly standrd looking PC hardware, after 11.0 and 11.1 had the same problem. The error is "can't find installation source" - a bit strange that it can't find itself any more. After the fallback to the text based installer, starting the rescue system again from there works (except with 11.0, which never works).

AFAIU the rescue system uses the same boot sequence as the installation system, so I'm concerned 11.3 final will blow up on install too.

What should I specifically look out for, and which files shall I keep for bugzilla?

It is possible that no Ethernet was connected when I tried, but that shouldn't affect any installation from CD/DVD.

Thanks,

could be https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612143 where the kernel/initrd fail to load drivers for your device. The part before (loading kernel + initrd) used BIOS to do its work. I also had cases when varying parameters like nohz=off or mem= or even the display resolution influenced if it would work or not. Rather random. btw: RC1 is out, but I do not expect it to make a difference there.

We are in my company running openSUSE on all our computers. We are a software developing company that works/tests with a lot of different mainboards. However we have had problems from 11.2 with KDE. This however have not been a greater obstacle as most now are using icewm instead on our dual head systems, and for the single, when we do critical things. But. With KDE on all mainboards that use AMD or VIA, with both 32 as 64 bits, the systems hangs with only the mouse working. We have tried to pinpoint the problem. I cannot reproduce it but it always come together with a keyboard or mouse action. That is it never hangs without any interaction. We have not paid any major attention to it and blamed it on a poor KDE/Qt design and are waiting for the 11.3. But again. While testing the 11.3RC1 on my _64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 945 with nVidia G96 [GeForce 9400 GT]. it HANGS! It seems that qt/KDE try to play the role of the OS and make the userspace to a qt/KDE space without the quality of an OS. KDE apps do not live in the originally meant userspace thou all apps are dependent of every other. Where is the UNIX concept? To me it looks like openSUSE is approaching the Microsoft dependency/spaghetti architecture and with a single user single task environment. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
