init 6 remove power source remove case elements necessary for access
ground case and self/or self to case
unplug wired connections release device retaining hardware replace removed case elements
remove self-to-case grounding
connect power start system
afaik, has been this way for ages. - -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
Thanks. Actually, what I was looking for was whether there were procedures within suse to tell it that the device will no longer exist in the system. Physically removing the hardware as you described, I can do. :-) I had this problem back in 9.3. (Actually, it was swapping out hardware) where the system would become unresponsive upon bootup until I switched back to the original hardware. That's probably an entirely different scenario from simply removing hardware. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
