The bigger problem is as described in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214992#c3 which says it's a kernel problem that I have been able to confirm in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/. I can't put any Linux on this system because the target partition is non-negotiably sata #16 or higher. If I want to install linux anywhere I choose on a disk, I'm stuck with PATA. Windoz makes no such imposition on how I logically carve up my huge disks. -- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped." Psalm 28:7 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

How to install Posgresql 8.1.4 ?
by Xn Nooby 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

How to install Posgresql8 on SLES9 ? I am trying to install Postgresql 8.1.4 on SLES 9. My SLES machine currently has the SP2 and SDK installed. The SLES9 machine also already has Postgresql 7.4.13 installed on it. I found some Postrgresql 8 RPMS for SLES 9 here: http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/suse/projects/postgresql/postgresql-8.1.4/s… and copied them to the directory /var/pos_814 Then I found some more instructions here: http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources Which led me to enter these commands cd /var/pos_814 genIS_PLAINcache -f -r . gzip genIS_PLAINcache The gzip command gets an error because the file does not exist. In YAST I went to "Change Source of Installation" and added the "local directory" on dir:///var/pos_814// dir:///var/pos_814/ I didn't see any new Postgresql entries in the "Install and Remove Software" screen. So I tried some more things. This entry did not work either: on dir:///var/pos_814/ dir:///var/pos_814 I also tried running gzip on the "IS_PLAINcache" which turned it into IS_PLAINcache.gz, but it still did not work. Hopefully I will be able to add Postrgresql 8 to yast, and then have either the option of upgrading 7.4, or replacing it with 8. Any suggestions? I'm kind of new at SLES and Postgresql. Thanks!

Found this subject in the archives, haven't received any of the messages yet. But I noticed this problem too. The explanations confused me, can someone please clarify? On install, I set up the time the same way I had done it when I installed 10.0, EST. The older system always changed automatically. -- ED --

[opensuse] Wlan dhcp / wep problems
by Administrator 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

I have Wlan 1/2 working and can't get further on a new install of OS 10.1 from the remastered CDs, using the 2.6 kernel with all updates installed. Can I ask for some advice. I have the drivers installed and loading for my 3com (Atheros chip) cardbus card (from the madwifi site as advised on the open SuSE wiki, and the madwifi extensions installed. Kwifi is recognising and managing the card, and the card is connecting to the access point (AP's MAC address is being found). I've configured the card using yast for dhcp. Kmanagenetworks is seeing the card and a range of local networks. The access point has WEP (shared key) and MAC address access controls. The card's MAC address has been added to the AP's list. The card is not getting a lan address, and wep seems intermittent (sometimes kwifi shows it as engaged, sometimes not). The laptop is dual boot (with Win/XP) and windows connects flawlessly. Can anyone advise what to look at / check / try next? I can't turn off the security on the AP until the weekend to see if this helps.

Check here: http://pag.csail.mit.edu/~adonovan/dilbert/show.php?day=12&month=11&year=20… And is that what is happening at Novell? Are they trying the "outsourcing" joke with their executives?
