I don't see the SMP on mine, and the system which I'm trying to install it upon doesn't support SMP as yet (see below). >Tried default install, "safe settings" and using F4 to pre-select NFS & >server - all crash in the same way. > >Hardware is AMD K6-2/500 with 512M RAM, ATI AGP video; runs 10.1 perfectly. > >I can post a picture of the screen but obviously no log files etc. Probably looks remarkably similar to this[0]: <URL:http://www.davjam.org/~davjam/images/parallels_10.2alpha4.gif> >This looks similar to 203466 (not posted by me) though that was 10.2 >alpha 3. > >Has anyone had a successful install on 10.2a4 on similar low end hardware? Not a low end system, but have successfully upgraded from alpha3 on a laptop[1]. I won't make too many comments about the changes to KDE, except to say that I switched the KDE menu back to classic style after only a few minutes of testing. >I have raised bug 204252 for this. This looks exactly the same as the problem I, and at least one other person, have when trying to install it on a Parallels virtual machine. The bug report in that case (#202605) was originally reported as a failure of alpha3 to install where it locked up and, in my case, occupied 100% CPU time of one processor of my SMP machine. [0] Why it's showing the kernel is tainted, I have no idea. The screenshot in bug #202605 shows the same with an untainted kernel. [1] Anyone using a DVD built using makeSUSEdvd will possibly find it fails to work. For some reason, the DVD install failed to initialise the catalogues and I had to resort to using CDs instead :| Regards, David Bolt -- Member of Team Acorn checking nodes at 50 Mnodes/s: http://www.distributed.net/ AMD1800 1Gb WinXP/SUSE 9.3 | AMD2400 256Mb SuSE 9.0 | A3010 4Mb RISCOS 3.11 AMD2400(32) 768Mb SUSE 10.0 | Falcon 14Mb TOS 4.02 | A4000 4Mb RISCOS 3.11 AMD2600(64) 512Mb SUSE 10.0 | | RPC600 129Mb RISCOS 3.6 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
