For question 2 concerning yast2, if you're using PuTTY to connect, have you loaded the session and changed the Connection->SSH->X11 to use X11 forwarding and XDM-Authorization-1, and also started Exceed, or whatever whatever product you use to accept X11 output?

The first is read only, the second is read-write. I tried ||running mkinitrd & zipl like I would for sles10, but it doesn't seem to ||be working. Mkinitrd is only writing 6 or 8 lines to the console (it ||writes almost a screen full on sles10), and it seems to be changing the ||disk identifier from dasdc & dasdd to dasda or dasdb so that /etc/fstab ||ends up being correct for the current ipl, but not the next. I guess ||zipl is working, at least the system seems to boot. If I run mkinitrd & ||zipl manually, the new disks don't seem to be picked up and added to |the ||dasd configuration so they are avail for the next ipl. If I use ||yast->hardware->dasd to activate them, then the dasd id is changed, and ||the disks seem to be varied online at the next ipl. || ||How do I get the dasd added and mounted at each ipl? ||Can I add dasd without using yast and if so how? What commands do I |need ||to run? || ||Problem #2 - When I try to run yast2, I get an error message that |Xlib: ||extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.0" along with a |bunch ||of other messages. I thought I saw something about Gnome in an earlier ||error message, and I did not install either Gnome of KDE since I was ||doing a z/linux install, and neither of these have worked very well on ||previous sles versions. yast seems to work so far, but I much prefer ||yast2. || ||Can anyone shed any light on either of these problems? || ||Thank you || ||Sue Sivets || ||-- || Suzanne Sivets || Systems Programmer || Innovation Data Processing || 275 Paterson Ave || Little Falls, NJ 07424-1658 || 973-890-7300 || Fax 973-890-7147 || ssiv...@fdrinnovation.com || || || ||This email (and attachments, if any) is confidential and access by ||anyone other than the addressee(s) is unauthorized.
