Hi Fred,

The problem is with SMP kernel for more than one CPU present in the system: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231118 the link at the end has typo. Use this one: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/x86_64/HEAD and kernel-default.x86_64.rpm is link to latest release candidate, now that is rc7.

You can install rpm, but you need kernel sources to compile nVidia driver anyway.

BTW, The 6100 worked fine on Athlon 64, and tradition continues with FX5200. Same about USB ports.

Thank you. I have been having an issue with my dual core AMD64 where the usb mouse and keyboard just drop off. Sometimes just unplugging them and plugging them back in solves the issue but sometimes I am forced to hard boot the system. It drops them every couple of minutes. I too had to boot with noapci. Even the installer was dropping them. I really hope this fixes it.

Sorry James,

but there is no rpm in that directory, all files are sources. Maybe they build them on some days, or that was temporary.

Now you can find rpm file in Factory. For instance rc6 (release candidate 6) that was tested to have fixed USB is in: Server: mirrors.kernel.org Path: opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/x86_64 File: kernel-default-2.6.20_rc6-2.x86_64.rpm

I am going to try and grab that kernel once the initial install is done. I was attempting to do a network-based install via the mini iso but factory package list failed checksum (204.152.191.39/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/)and dumped me. I'll get this eventually :) James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
