[opensuse-factory] SIS 530/620 onboard video
Hey Group; I am involved with a older system with a SIS 530/620 on board video system. Yes, miserable! The problem is that any SuSE from a boxed set 10.1 to current 10.3.Aplha# fail during booting from CD #1 just about the point at which /dev/udev is showing on the screen. It locks up the whole unit. To rescue this system I have resorted to Fedora Core 6 and it is working at this point. I tried with SuSE at the boot menu to select VESA and TEXT modes plus failsafe. Nothing worked It appears SuSE's udev is unable to setup a dev console/tty#. The screen goes black and the keyboard is dead. Anybody found a work around? -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : [EMAIL PROTECTED] VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador http://counter.li.org #279316 Did you know?

And requires quite a lot of memory too. I once tried to run out of memory and have the process quit after some 1½-2 hrs with 1 gig ram + 500 megs swap. Nowadays 1 GB RAM seems so small :-) The applydeltaiso works fine here: 512 MB + 1.5 GB swap, 1.6 MHz Athlon XP 2000+, It takes really long, but it runs in background unnoticed, unlike some other processes, and I can use computer for not computing intensive tasks, like email and browsing without glitches. Sounds to me that I should just download the new alpha3 and upgrade alpha2+..Oh well, when I get to it...:-) -- Edward Dunagin-Dunigan-Dunnigan 4646 Glenwood Drive Bozeman, MT 59718 mobile 406-570-0992 Landline 406-556-7282 http://doas.montanalinux.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Uhhm, you're talking about downloading the updates/repodata/*.xml.gz files? For the 10.2 updates that's about 13MB currently. I'd be very interested to hear how you download that over a dialup at a realistic 3kbyte/s in a few seconds tops.
