For question 2 concerning yast2, if you're using PuTTY to connect, have you loaded the session and changed the Connection->SSH->X11 to use X11 forwarding and XDM-Authorization-1, and also started Exceed, or whatever whatever product you use to accept X11 output?

The first is read only, the second is read-write. I tried |running mkinitrd & zipl like I would for sles10, but it doesn't seem to |be working. Mkinitrd is only writing 6 or 8 lines to the console (it |writes almost a screen full on sles10), and it seems to be changing the |disk identifier from dasdc & dasdd to dasda or dasdb so that /etc/fstab |ends up being correct for the current ipl, but not the next. I guess |zipl is working, at least the system seems to boot. If I run mkinitrd & |zipl manually, the new disks don't seem to be picked up and added to the |dasd configuration so they are avail for the next ipl. If I use |yast->hardware->dasd to activate them, then the dasd id is changed, and |the disks seem to be varied online at the next ipl. | |How do I get the dasd added and mounted at each ipl? |Can I add dasd without using yast and if so how? What commands do I need |to run? | |Problem #2 - When I try to run yast2, I get an error message that Xlib: |extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.0" along with a bunch |of other messages. I thought I saw something about Gnome in an earlier |error message, and I did not install either Gnome of KDE since I was |doing a z/linux install, and neither of these have worked very well on |previous sles versions. yast seems to work so far, but I much prefer |yast2. | |Can anyone shed any light on either of these problems? | |Thank you | |Sue Sivets | |-- | Suzanne Sivets | Systems Programmer | Innovation Data Processing | 275 Paterson Ave | Little Falls, NJ 07424-1658 | 973-890-7300 | Fax 973-890-7147 | [email protected] | | | |This email (and attachments, if any) is confidential and access by |anyone other than the addressee(s) is unauthorized.
