I may have a borked installation of 9.1 professional.
I was surprised that the install, after having put lilo on hda, didn't have any internet config or didn't ask me to set a root password.
When I reboot my LVM2 volumes don't get mounted (I added 'auto' in fstab but no luck -- and I wonder if I should even need to add that for /home and /user to get mounted anyway).
YaST was able to set up and configure my ethernet card, but after a reboot the interface doesn't start. It will start if I go into yast and reconfigure the card.
Finally, I did 'passwd root' to set my password, but I don't seem to need a password to log in -- root followed by a carriage return gets met in.
This is my first Suse install so I'm a little confused.

Somehow, you're booting into the rescue system (I'm guessing). If that's the case, you don't have your 'real' root partition loaded. You have to mount it (mount /dev/hda# /mnt) and work off of /mnt to make changes. But, you shouldn't be booting into the rescue system anyway. Did you make a change to the boot loader config? -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
