Hello all!
I have setup scpm on opensuse 10.2 and have configured two profiles
WORK and HOME. If I am at a shell prompt and run the command scpm
switch home (or work) the system will switch to the named profile and
all of the settings necessary to operate will work.
Here's the problem, if I go

I have also noticed that. It worked fine in 10.1 and earlier.
Well, 10.2 is the first time I have had occasion to use it, I think is
is amazing that if I switch manually from a shell it works, but not
from the menu.
I even went as far as adding the option PROFILE=work to a newly

Hmm, I wonder if there are some "special" characters that aren't handled
right? I've found in the past that SCPM doesn't seem to like anything
other than alphanumerics in profile names.
I'm using SCPM on 10.2 with five different profiles, and boot-time
switching with F3 is working for me. So it

Well, first things first...does the file exist in that location? You
might also try running 'scpm rebuild' to clean up the database. I
remember having to do that a few times in older SuSE versions where
switching profiles sometimes failed in mid-stream.
Ok, the file does exist and I ran the s

Sorry for the delay in the response time, I was away for a few hours.
Jerry!
I am using the ndiswrapper, this laptop has an internal pci express
broadcom chip and even with fw-cutter it will not functionn properly,
I understand that when we get to a 2.6.20 kernel it may well work.

I think that explains it. If you run
chkconfig boot.scpm
it comes back with "off", right?
Try
insmod boot.scpm
and see if it starts working then

I appreciate all of the input, I am going to test the multiple
partition item because I do have /var on a separate partition.
I will test it tonight when I go to work and I will report back and
success or failure.
Again, Thanks for all of the input.
