There were two problems. The first one was a kernel oops, which the system posted to the appropriate place on line for me! Bad news -- kernel oops. Good news -- it automatically told the right people about it. :) The second problem was a bit uglier, and I didn't take the time to troubleshoot it. I was attempting to quad-boot my workstation (openSUSE, Gentoo, Ubuntu and Fedora). I booted the Fedora LiveCD first, and laid out all the partitions (four /boot, one swap, four root, and one /home). Fedora got into the install but croaked somewhere in the partitioning process. So I dropped plans to put Fedora on the workstation as a quad-boot. I'm going to put it on my ancient laptop instead. I did have the workstation dual-booted openSUSE and Ubuntu for a couple of hours, but I couldn't get the bootloader conflicts resolved. So I am now back to openSUSE and will be building virtual machines for the others instead. I can beta test everything in guests. :) I may switch the main host to Ubuntu after it goes stable, though, since the main thing I want to have is virtualized hosting and I think Ubuntu is further ahead in that area than openSUSE. -- M.
