Re: [opensuse] Serial terminal installation
No,not really. I think the easiest way is to rebuild the dvd , set the boot loader without the gfxboot option and also pass console=tty0,115200 to the kernel. But I have no idea how to do this. Not really sure if i can copy all the contents of the dvd to a folder and then use isolinux to rebuild it.

[opensuse] Serial terminal installation
Hi, I'm trying to install opensuse 10.2 on a machine without monitor+keyboard. I only have access via the serial console. When the dvd boot loader starts it kicks in, in graphical mode and minicom will show nothing, just a white screen. Tried all terminal+serial port settings with no success. Any ideas on how to do it? I managed to get it to text by counting to 10 then pressing esc, counting to 5 and then pressing Enter, but it's not really ideal.

[opensuse] why not ship kernel with usb_suspend enabled?
HI, I was wondering why the kernel is not shipped with usb_suspend enabled and then just leave to each user to enable it passing the usbcore.autosuspend on boot time? It would help me and others having to recompile every new kernel update.

RE:[opensuse] why not ship kernel with usb_suspend enabled?
Oh, Ok i thought that only if you passed the kernel option to enable it would actually have any effect on the system.
