Thank you for all the information and work. All the steps you mentioned (distro-query, systemimager etc.) are exact the points we have a look at the moment too. I send you our patches as soon as we tried the "workarounds" for the issues with yume and systemimager on x68_64. Maybe we need to change something again. > On 8/19/07, Bernard Li <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Dominik: > > > > Good news, I got the OSCAR code from branch-5-0 working with openSUSE > > 10.2.

As mentioned above we try everything on openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 and tell if there are problems again and send you patches. > > Once you confirm things are working, I will check my changes into > > trunk.
