Re: SLES 9 SP 2 install problem...
The 'Aye's are above the 'no's on this. I am seeing frequent corruption to file systems, and our workload is light. __ Ranga Nathan / CSG Systems Programmer - Specialist; Technical Services; BAX Global Inc.

Re: SLES 9 SP 2 install problem...
We follow this advise and created /boot / (root) and SWAP in one 3390 M2. Then, we LVM /tmp, /home, /opt and /(site) where /site would have normally being /usr/local. Our next step is to LVM /var. When LVM is not working, we can still come up. We only depend on one volume to be there.

Did you double check the checksums from the install CD's had a similar issue with a bad CD once.. jrw --- Jeremy Warren Manager of Open Systems KB Toy Stores mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@kbtoys.com "Nix, Robert P." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: Linux on 390 Port 08/08/2005 10:24 AM Please respond to Linux on 390 Port To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU cc: Subject: [LINUX-390] SLES 9 SP 2 install problem... I'm trying to install using SLES 9 Service Pack 2. I get the first part of the installation done, and the system shuts down.
