Hello, I have just installed windows 2000 pro on a second hard drive (brand new sata 160Gb)
I unplugged the primary sata drive, I booted from the cdrom and installed win2kp on the new drive. I reconnected the primary sata drive and booted to linux.
Everything at this point was working perfectly, I was connected to the internet and my local network. I modified the grub.lst file and added win2k option to boot windows on the second drive.
I tested the configuration by booting to windows and all worked well, I was connected to the internet.
I rebooted to opensuse 10.1 and all of a sudden I have no network.
I rebooted back to win2kp and had network functionality again.
I rebooted to opensuse 10.1 and removed the configuration through yast2 and then reconfigured and still no joy.
I rebooted opensuse 10.1 and during the reboot I disabled the onboard network controller and went back to opensuse 10.1
I made sure all eth0 configuration files were gone and rebooted and enabled the onboard network controller, I went back to opensuse 10.1 and reconfigured the card through yast2 and still no joy.
I am sending the post through win2kp as it will still connect to the internet.
For the record this is the spec for the machine:
Biostar 6100 M9 AMD 64 bit 3200+ socket 939 processor Everything is onboard except the WinTV PVR 500. NVidia Nforce chipset.
Any thoughts?

If that works, maybe you want to think about having only a Linux system with Win running in VMware or Wine inside of Linux? bye, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
