I tried several configuration but nothing has changed so far. Actually I did some simple changes but eventually it doesn't work correctly yet. The slave interfaces are eth0 and eth2 (eth1 si used for another purpose). The problem is now that when eth0 is switched off, the bond0 interface doesn't reply. What hell of bonding is this???

It can't be done until MS says what "specific" parts of the kernel is violating it. And given the stupid nature of patenting system (I had some real taste of it) if MS is been clever to patent something like "Interrupt Service Routine" concept with a clever writeup such as "Reverse Feedback Hardware Interaction Method", then yes we do need to pay money to MS for all the interrupt service routines we wrote. One of my early carrier experience, when startups would try to build IP portfolio to so that the company could be sold for good money, I remember writing patent application for codes that was simply client/server under the text "Intelligent Server Agent". ( I have changed. I do no more evil :P ) So its clever MS playing tricks by the books where the equal amount of criticism should go towards the "Patent System".

[opensuse] 10.1 and 10.2 won't boot install media
by Clark P. Case 17 May '07

17 May '07

Hi, I have a junker "desktop notebook" ( ECS A900 Desknote or I-buddie depending on where you look online) that I am trying to load openSuse on and it immediately reboots as soon as the dvd tries to load grub. Right at the boot loader. I have made a number of attempts to modify bios settings and it still loops a reset. I have successfully installed Ubuntu on it, I have gotten it started on Fedora but openSUSE is the only on that resets on boot attempt from the media. All checksums are right, I have even tried the cd and net install iso and they all do the same thing. The "Laptop" has the following characteristics from what I know: Via 1ghz cpu (clocks in windows as a 776mhz) 256 mb ram (I was able to load 10.1 and 10.2 on a desktop with this much ram) Via/SIS video chipsets So, I was wondering if anyone might know why grub isn't playing nice, I have ruled out media, the dvd rom drive, and limited ram as I have it running Ubuntu. I was just hoping to find some obscure solution that would let me use my distro of choice. I think the old Suse 10.0 will load, but if I can get the latest on that would be best... any ideas other than simply scrapping the whole thing?

[opensuse] Partition Resizing
by Colonel Orange 17 May '07

17 May '07

I've been running OpenSuse 10.1 and subsequently 10.2 on a dual boot machine for some time now quite successfully. I'd like to ditch the Windows partition(s) altogether given that it hasn't been used for over 6 months and I can do everything I need to on OpenSuse. Is it possible to simply remove the Window partitions and reallocate to OpenSuse? Partition info: /dev/hda Disk 37.2G /dev/hda1 HPFS/NTFS 35G 18G 18G 50% /windows/C /dev/hdb Disk 74.5G /dev/hdb1 HPFS/NTFS 29G 25G 3.5G 88% /windows/D /dev/hdb2 Extended 33.3G /dev/hdb6 Linux Native 13G 8.6G 4.2G 68% / /dev/hdb7 Linux Native 19G 17G 2.3G 89% /home Ideally I would like to reallocate /dev/hdb1 to /dev/hdb2 then /dev/hdb7 Is this possible to do without loosing my / and /home data and if so which would be the most suitable tool. The Yast2 partition tool will not for example allow me to edit /dev/hdb2.

[opensuse] Problem with CD Creator
by Mike Diehl 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hi all, Well, I've revisited my auto-install CD and I'm having more difficulties. I've created a control file using the auto install tool in yast2. I've configured a local installation source. Now I'm trying to use the CD Creator tool to create a disk image. Once I get through all of the configuration choices, (install source, profile, etc.) I get a screen entitled "Saving CD Creator Configuration." Followed by "=> Write the settings" as the progress indication. Then I get a box that says: Errror Error while writing settings. Once again, the error message is worthless and there doesn't seem to be a log file to be had anywhere... Any ideas about how to proceede? This is getting very frustrating!
