I must use the i386 media for my install, since my system is PIII. I just found out that kernel 2.6.19 does NOT hang when booting, so maybe some progress. I installed the following repo into YAST and upgraded my kernel. http://software.opensuse.org/download/Kernel:/Vanilla/SUSE_Factory/ The only thing I've lost so far is the AppArmor module won't load, which isn't a severe problem. I'm now recognizing all four cpus. I'll report more as I explore the system. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
