Tim, Does anyone have a log, or other documentation, on the sequence of events I'm supposed to see in an install of SLES9 via FTP? It's documented in the Virtualization Cookbook for an NFS install. The only difference with the FTP install will be early in the process on the 3270 session after

Hipersocket stopped

We have a Hipersocket defined between two guests. It has stopped working on one of the guests. I have deleted the configuration and recreated it and ran mkinitrd. We have also rebooted the guest. Below is the config file for the failing interface: BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='10.14.1.255'

I've been meaning to get back to this for some time. I looked at the SLES9 kernel source. There's nothing in the smbfs code that would generate that kind of message. I'm guessing that SUSE/Novell hacked the modutils code to put out that message and set the kernel tainting on. Just exactly

I run into that as well when I build one from scratch (so to speak). I can't remember what the screen looks like, but go the Expert Partitioner route. Select your device (i.e., /dev/dasda1, etc.), format it, choose your file system, choose your mount point, etc. You should then be able to

In SLES8 you could copy all the CDs into one directory and it would work. In SLES9 they fixed that. The CDs need to be in a particular structure with some links and the server has to be running a YaST server program. tom - - - - - - - - - - - - Toto, I have a feeling we're not in the mainframe
