I just finished upgrading my system to 9.2. I was able to go to the web, do online update, and download and install all of the patches. But now I have major problems, as follows --
*) I can no longer get to the network. When I go into DNS and Host Name, the box where I normally check "Update name servers and search list via DHCP" is grayed out. I don't know how I was able to get to the web to do Online Update and now, all of a sudden, nothing!
*) Unless I boot from the installation CD and select "Boot Current System", I have no keyboard or mouse usage. I have a USB keyboard and mouse. I had no problems with this in 8.1.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I've got one idea: please mention that psychics or telepaths are preferred. (^-^)
Honestly, you don't even mention what hardware you use or what steps you took to solve the problem or even, what dmesg|/var/log/messages tells you about the boot progress. If you can't get the network running, have you checked that your network card is recognized correctly?

Sorry. Here's some detail. I'm running a Dell Optiplex. Under YaST -- Network Dell 82546EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller Configured with address 192.168.1.102 (linux.local) My Note: This looks right to me. There are errors in the log. Here's what I see -- modprobe: FATAL: Module e1000 not found eth-id-00:08:74:24:85:82 No Interface found failed setting up service network...........failed <notice> exit status of (network) is (7) I guess if it can't find a network module that could be PART of the problem. I have no idea why this could be happening. Thanks for responding. Any help, as always, greatly appreciated. Greg Wallace
