Hi Sorry to mengle in without any competence at all (don't expect too much from my email-addr :-) I am not in the SuSE team. But I did insist a LOT to have OpenSUSE 11.1 installed on my PS3, and I experienced the same symptoms as you (and many others :-) But now it is up and running - next challenge is to get the codecs etc to play :-)
Here is what I saw: 1st lesson learned - do not change anything in the software selection during the install change afterwards. You will loose the image install, and waste a lot of time. 2nd when you change the proposed partitioning, install disables image install - simply re-enable it to gain time. 3rd do not leave the PS3 to itself while installing - here might be you main problem, it will go to sleep in the middle of the install(!!) and if left asleep too long time, it will reboot, and come back up incomplete. Monitor the install, and if it seems "stuck" in the middle of copying a package or in the middle of installing it, simply touch the mouse, or a key on the keyboard, and you should see it continue. 4th have a look here for memory optimization once installed: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-ps3-1/?S_TACT=105AG X59&S_CMP=GR (Even though he does not mention OpenSUSE grrrrrr :-/
hope this helps :-) Thomas
thanks for sharing your experience. I never heard of image install. maybe I'll try next time, but I hate loosing lvm features (like moving pv blocks to external storage in preparation for repartitioning). Btw. what windowmanager are you using? Regards, Joachim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
