Hi Greg, here's a couple of examples: DMI-bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=204147 ISA-support: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231191 Having two graphics cards: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=177621 None of these are showstoppers, there are known work-arounds - I just thought I was beginning to see a trend. I know I've got another one around to do with shared IDE IRQs and libata or something like that. I can't find it right now, but that one's more important. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- ENIDAN Technologies GmbH - managed email-security.
