I installed SuSE9.1 on my dual Opteron computer with TYAN2885. I have two problems and hope someone can help.
1. I am not able to install SuSE9.1 with NFS, the installer failed to load the network crad module, I tried bcm5700, tg3 and others from the network module list, with parameter set to eth0, the specified modules were not found by the installer. I wonder what might be the problem? I used both the downloaded boot image and a SuSE9.1 DVD for this installation.
NFS install of Suse 9.1 (x86_64) on Tyan s2885 (K8W) worked for me. I created a boot cd from the suse 9.1 boot iso image on the Suse site (in the 'boot' directory under the Suse 9.1 installation tree).
After booting the Suse 9.1 installer from this iso image, I loaded some kernel modules manually from this boot iso image. I used the tg3 module for the network card. No problems there.
I also verify that the packages are intact before I begin an NFS install. (eg. 'md5sum --check MD5SUMS | grep -v OK' in each of the rpm directories)
Only problem I experienced was mounting my existing XFS partitions (which are data partitions only and not necessary for a clean OS partition install), so worked around that by not mounting those until I had compiled kernel 2.6.6. My Suse 9.1 root partition (/) is also XFS, and I use a 100MB /boot partition (ext2).
Just download our latest 2.6.5 security update kernel, that one works with XFS. Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
