Good thing you did that, otherwise with Bug slashing weekend coming we
would all have threaten you with even more dire consequences than "it
won't be fixed in 10.3 if you don't file a report".

See: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-announce/2007-08/msg4.html

But you do have a machine with internet connection since you were
able to send this mail ;-)

Please boot 10.3 beta1 on the problematic system, switch to a bash-prompt
by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2, plug in a usb-stick and run

- mount /dev/sda /mnt   # resp. sdb, sdc or whereever the usb stick appears
- hwinfo > /mnt/hwinfo
- dmesg > /mnt/dmesg# (see below)
- umount /mnt

(I'm not quite sure if dmesg is sufficient, /var/log/boot.msg is probably
better)

Then take the usb stick to the system with internet and provide
the files in a bug report.

Well, that sounds like a pretty serious kernel regression.  And, if you
can't report it, well, we can't help fix it.

So the odds that it will be fixed for the final 10.3 release is pretty
slim.

Can you just try booting with the 10.3 kernels on your 10.2 release?
That will let you help test and provide us with hopefully enough
information to fix this.

thanks,

Nope, since there is too much trouble to supply all the information to
Bugzilla from a box that is not connected to the internet. That is
exactly why my internal beta test rules tell me: bow out. Plus: either
only my MCP61 ethernet chip is not supported then Bugzilla is of no help
to, or openSUSE 10.3 does not support the chip in general, then my
Bugzilla entry is not needed.
