Well, I've blasted my installation and put SuSE 6.0 on it from scratch -
to be precise, the installation from the 6.0-evaluation directory, which
was a reasonable size to mirror locally for the process.
It works very nearly perfectly, except for the following:
Running YAST resets KDM's backdrop settings to their defaults,
overriding what's been set.
Just the backdrop setting as far as I can tell.
There were a couple of other oddities but they were probably my fault.
:-}
Then, with everything working fine (I like the "done" messages in
green), I installed kernel 2.2.1 This seems to be working fine except:
Loading of the network modules didn't work. The dummy and ne modules
which are all I use didn't load on startup and those parts of the boot
showed "Failed". This was fixed for the real network card by adding
"modprobe 8390<lf>modprobe ne<lf>" at the start of /etc/rc.d/network -
this may not be the best way of adding things to those scripts, but it
does solve the problem for now. Definitive fix?
However, it doesn't solve the Dummy driver not loading. "modprobe dummy"
has no apparent effect in the same place. I'm not terribly worried about
this as it doesn't seem to do very much at the best of times, but it's
slightly irritating to see a failure notice. :-)
