Works perfectly fine for my 4 and 8 GB memory machines. Just plug in the DVD and install, it chooses the right kernel automatically. In my case on the 4GB box, uname -r 2.6.16.27-0.9-smp
Thanks for the reply's
The system wont boot with -bigsmp.
Bigsmp? Are you running a 64-bit x86-64 kernel? That one has no bigsmp, just use the smp kernel (or on 10.2: The default one).
Andreas
I didn't understand the advice to run -bigsmp as i don't need PEA on i386_64 to address full memory (a specific 32bit way), but i didn't know if there where other difference between the kernel's and i guessed that on a 64bit system the packet manager (YaST) only made 64bits kernel's available.
As warned before: I'm farly new to SuSe/linux ;-)
I'll try i386_32 with PEA now.
The default 64-bit x86-64 kernel should support this without problems.
I assumed that you run into the following problem: you run the 32-bit bigsmp kernel on a 64-bit system - and then it would not boot at all...
Andreas
Without doubt that was the reason it didn't boot the last time, but i originally started out with a default x86-64 install with a 2.6.18.8-0.1-default kernel, but i only had 2Gb of the 4GB ram available(see original post). Then i got suggestion to try the -bigsmp kernel. -- Bas Hendriks - bas@cybox.nl - 0485 578979 CYBOX internet & Communicatie info@cybox.nl - www.cybox.nl - 0485 471774 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
