“When I launch this live-CD on my computer, here is the message I get immediately after the linux kernel is loaded :

Loading KIWI CD Boot-system…
Failed to detect CD drive !
rebootException reboot in 60 sec…”

I second this observation. It’s a pity since I really wanted to try it out. I hope this can be fixed soon.

I get exactly the same problem using either a USB or firewire CD ROM drive, for the final 10.3 SUSE.

I forgot to add that I am using the final 10.3 release.

That will be fixed in the final version.

For some reason it doesn’t work with a SATA DVD drive. I swapped in an IDE CD drive and it worked fine.

Try booting without grub splash graphics (hold down Shift while booting).

I tried out the 10.3RC1 KDE Live CD and it will not boot. It gets to the second green screen with the open suse logo and then after spinning the cd for a minute or so it reboots.
The computer has Ubuntu Feisty installed and working for several months so I know linux works fine. It is a basic intel dual core desktop computer with plenty of RAM.

There seems to be a serious regression, as it applies my hardware, from openSuse 10.2 to 10.3 (alpha 6, beta 1 and live cd beta 1 – all kde i386 versions.

I see a bug which causes MASSIVE fonts (impossible to navigate and also appear in sax2 at console mode) at the kdm login screen (for the install cds) or at the desktop when using live cd. This seems like an upstream bug because I have encountered the same in release versions of Fedora 7 (though not in the Gnome live cd f7), Pardus and Sidux (all recent releases and all with same bug).

I am currently running openSuse 10.2 and it is working well on this Acer 1644 wmli notebook.

The bug is most likely, IMO, related to the use of the new intel graphics driver as an upgrade for those chipsets that use/used 915resolution.

Some specs for my Acer 1644 wmli notebook:
