I've upgraded on three machines now, and it runs pretty well. I had issues with the novell client and with VPN. The novell client got solved with a little trick (don't know if there is a 10.0 version out, but I got the 9.3 version running by copying a lib from a 9.3 installation). VPN still isn't up, but I haven't tried the new version yet, I hope to get around to that tonight. VMware 5.0 won't run without a patch, 5.5 runs perfectly Other than that, I haven't had any issues, it's running smooth as silk

That was HIS experience, your might be completely different. Also the official realease might result in something different. Do make a backup so that you have something to go back to if things go wrong. The more you changed or added, the more things could go worng. I always do a new instalation and never had a problem with that either. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

Excellent advice

That is the best way to save headaches, but to be fair, ever since I started running suse with 6.1, upgrades have gotten steadily better

I upgraded from 9.3 to Beta 4 to RC1 with no problems except that xine and kaffeine refused to work - it's the only time I've ever seen a blue screen on a Linux box. I compiled them from source and they work perfectly. Until 9.1 I preferred to do a new install when I upgraded, but it looks as if SuSE have cracked this one. Rodge

Where can we get the patch for VMware 5.0?

Did work here on two notebooks - Vaio PCG-C1XD (PII/400) and Targa Traveller 826 (Turion64). The Turion notebook needed "irqpoll" as boot parameter; it would freeze at "scanning USB devices" without. Started 9.3 -> Beta2, then Beta3, then Beta4, then RC1. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

How did you upgrade? (Boot from the 10 CD and select upgrade, or run YaST from within 9.3) -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!

It would not work from inside 9.3 (at least that was my opinion- didn't try). So for 9.3 -> Beta2, I fetched boot/loader/initrd and boot/loader/linux (for the P-II/400) resp. boot/loader/initrd64 and boot/loader/linux64 (for the Turion64) and built LILO boot targets. Then booting the target and installing via NFS, using a realtek 8139 PC card. The steps "inside" 10.0 worked well without booting: just calling YaST2, Software, setting new installation source (NFS again), "System Update". Network interface was an Atheros PC card - WLAN would not work during a CD boot. ;-)) Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

(Boot from the 10 CD and select upgrade, or run YaST from within 9.3) I used YAST from within 9.3 to updrade both an AMD64 & 32 bit box.
Worked fine apart from the multimedia aspects noted in some other e-mails, the proprietary NVIDIA driver wasn't running + YOU did NOT recognise that I was running 10 (it thought I was still running 9.3). As per the support database http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/10/thallma_you_oldpatches.html To fix the last problem I just copied /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x00000001/DESCRIPTION/description to /var/adm/YaST/ProdDB/prod_00000001 and restarted (all OK). But, as the support article says, it is probably smart to boot from the CD/DVD prior to running the upgrade. Trevor B

OK, after MUCH struggling I could not upgrade to 10. Everything appears to go well, until the first real reboot, and it just craps out all over the place. RC1 appears to have problems previous Betas did not, but I can't figure out what it is. I can install, and all the hardware appears to be located and installed properly, but when I reboot for the first time after the upgrade is finished, things look horrible. for example, powersaved fails to load at all, and Xorg will even refuse to load, then if I log in at the shell, the whole PC locks up. This didn't happen with Beta4. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!
