problem 1: it could not save to modules.conf file. i have installed suse 7.1 at least 4 times. everytime, after activating the network card, i got a message, error occurred while saving modules.conf. when you reboot afterward, you see an error duing booting up, saying could not add default route because eth0 no such device. before i installed suse 7.1, i had redhat 7.0, so i saved modules.conf file. after i copied the file over, everything is good. the process does not even write to modules.conf file. in /etc, there is a file called modules.conf.- .
This is a known bug in YaST2 (that I ran into) if your /tmp directory is on a different partition. There's a fix for it at the SuSE FTP update site. You can either unmount /tmp and try again, or get the RPM and update your system and try again. -tara
