What is the bios version? F17 is the current but I installed the MS2 version of 11.2 from a usb stick with F6 with no problems. Have you tried to copy the install iso to a usb stick? You can copy the image using dd if=<iso image> of=/dev/<sdx of the usb stick>. If you have the dvd image you will need an 8Gb stick.

Put the stick in the mini and when you boot, hit f9 and select the usb stick to boot from.

Let me know if this works.

I tried that because it was such a PIA all the instructions to make a stick, but it takes more to make it bootable. You still need to get grub on the thing, I believe, thorugh syslinux. I think the net install, however, was fundementally sound except that the loaded kernel on the reboot from the initial installation process, doesn't work. Because it I boot from the old 11.2 RC2 factory build which is bootable from the stick, the system boots the new installed OS, although there are other future issues to deal with like the wifi card, and sound...but one problem at a time and at this point the problem that the initd image is failing. Evidently, some believe there is a bug in the new kernels with APCI. Ruben

In 11.1, you will not have wireless or ethernet without getting the wl driver from Packman or the ath1c driver. In 11.2 the ath1c driver is part of the kernel, but you still have to get the wl driver from Packman. Sound works on my 1025.

Well, now that the 11.2 version is released I thought I'd ty to install that and I did a net install from a mounted opensuse iso on my webserver. It is still having fundamental difficulties, starting with this:

I've installed 11.2 opensuse on my HP mini 110 and the installed inird kernet doesn't load, although it works for the install ram disk. I get an error message on boot

"failed to get NUMA memory information from SRAT table"... then the screen over writes itself and I can't remember the rest. The system then loads up but it stalls on loading the devices after udev is loaded...it just sits there. I've worked on this for a while and I believe it is a bug at this point in the installation process.

I tried to rewrite the initrd with mkinitrd, but that failed to work. I could obviously copy the book disk initrd ... but...

I could use a fix.

Anyone have any information on the HP Minis and openSUSE.

I tried to install 11.0 from my flash drive and the ethernet, wifi and sound is down. I'm downloading the DVD for 11.1 and will try to

install

...

that. Its the Mini 110 model 110-1037NR

Ah - thanks for the definitve help. What is packman?
