Now it seems to be stable, altough suspend2disk ceased to work (again) due to some changes in xorg.conf, but luckily after restroing my old xorg.conf it works. Probably there are also some other things that are not standard anymore on my system, but I can live with them now. ;) As soon as I run in bugs, I will report them.

There was a msg about mouse selection error. Yast2 is working, whats next assuming this is a trivial fault.

[opensuse-factory] First install went well, but raid1 bootloader problem?
My first installation went without a hickup and everything looks good, after a quick glance anyway. Thanks!! I left the grub settings at the suggestion made by yast. root fs is /dev/md2 (it's a spare partition). Boot loader was installed to md2. System bootet fine - with the grub menu from the 10.2 installation on that system (which I had forced into mbr). Does this mean there would have been nothing much but a black screen on first boot had the previous boot loader not been there? How many people boot from a Linux software raid1? The booting works fine, but few releases of 8.x, 9.x and 10.[012] do install it functionally in my experience.

The limitation in 8.x was that yast could only create md0, but it would install on multiple mdX partitions if they already existed.
