Not just factory. 10.2 will not install on boards that use the Intel 965 and JMicron chipset for PATA. This is a large fraction of the new boards that support the fastest CPU (Core 2 Duo) on the market. The problem was independently reported several times, and yet (apparently) was never fixed in spite of a "Resolved" status in more than one bug report. I recently posted a history of the problem here, hoping to get advice on how to proceed to get this showstopper -- which has been assigned a very low "normal P5" priority -- fixed. Not for me, as I was able to get past the bug by installing a SCSI optical drive, but for the trusting people who buy the boxed product expecting it to install on common recent hardware, and discover that it won't install. > http://bugzill.novell.com http://bugzilla.novell.com > I know that reporting bugs is not easy as one has to search trough > existing reports before files own bugs, but that is the most reliable > way to get things fixed. I spent hours searching prior bug reports and linking separate reports about what appeared to be a single bug. To avoid cluttering the bug reports I emailed the person who has been assigned the bug. I also posted here, following the recommended procedure when one is unsure. http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports "Before reporting a bug, make sure that it is really a bug. If in doubt, discuss it on the mailing lists first (opensuse-factory or opensuse)." There was no response from the person currently assigned to the bug nor to my post(s) here. The bug is: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227505 It's a showstopper on many of the motherboards that support the Core 2 Duo processor. It's NOT new, and was repeatedly reported earlier. -rex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
