Beta 3 Has MANY problems.
To be fair for testing, I tried placing Beta 3 on Two different machines.
Both machines hardware fully tested.
Machine 1 (Server)(New) This machine was done as a fresh install.
IBM xSeries 225 Netfinity Server
1-2.4 GB Pentium 4 Processor
1 GB Ram
IBM 40x CD-RW
HP DVD100i DVD +R CD-RW
1-12GB Eide Harddrive
6-36GB UltraSCSI
18" Viewsonic VX800-2 LCD
2-10/100/1000 NIC
First major issue. Like Beta 2 there is no driver for the builtin
Fusion MPT SCSI Adapter (mptscsi.h) If you want to do business with IBM and
IBM servers you have to include this. Even the IBM website gives you the
option of buying the servers without O/S or with Suse 8.1 or RedHat 8.0
who both have the drivers and load and run fine. Mandrake is not listed
because of this. The IBM server goes to SCSI hardrive, or floppy, or CD/DVD.
Even when I placed a 12 GB EIDE drive on the system and loaded beta2 and
beta 3 on the that disk. It will not boot except by floppy.
The is the first problem in Beta 3. During the install I was asked exactly
once if I wanted a boot disk written and then given a choice of floppy or
harddrive. I was never asked again and it does not ask when I reran as an
update. That make it completely unusable. You can't boot the systems
without major effort.
Machine 2 (Workstation) This machine done as a update to 9.0/9.1Beta 2
This machine had 9.0 running on it. It is used to try to convince the state
to approve Linux for use on state machines and to service my clusters.
I did a straight update to 9.1beta2 with little or no problems and everything
worked first time. But, On updating to Beta 3, I no longer get a choice to
logon as root. I must log into an unpriviledged account and su to root.
That stinks. All USB devices specially USB_Storage is no longer functional
even when the modules file is edited. There went my security key and scanner.
Many of my command don't work now. I can't even do an lsof -i. Or, use
Konqueror or Galeon.
Generic 800MB Athlon
512 MB Ram
Panasonic LF-D201 DVD +RW
Liteon 32x CD-RW
Matsui 20x CD
128 MB Flash Drive
18" Cornea CT1700 LCD
Summary after first look. This needs major work. Try standing in front of a
politician and asking for state approvals when he just watched you just mess up
your machine.
