Experienced a variety of intermittent problems when attempting to install onto a Sony PS3. These went away when I switched the graphic from 1080 to 720. Possible memory exhaustion issues?

Hope this will be of use to other PS3 users.

I hope very much that you get a working solution for virtualization in the OBS soon, so we “normal” users can use also the PowerPC targets. How far have the KVM people come yet? Or is there a working XEN somewhere in the range of possibilities?

Hi,

I have had problems with drivers for my wireless card, its Realtek and I have read in some of the notes I could get it to work in version 10 but there are issues in 11, is it worth trying this beta version to see if I can get it to work.
Other than this works great and compiz works great.

Best regards
Stephen

Al Katib, could you open a bug at bugzilla.novell.com fro the non-booting beta5.1 net-install ISO, please?

Thanks for testing!

Ola,

The beta5.1 net-install ISO isn’t bootable (C key / Opt-Cmd-Shift-Delete keys).
The test was on iBook G4.
I checked the md5 and I burned the ISO with K3B/OpenSuSE-beta5(amd64).

I’ve OpenSuSE 11.1 beta5 on two PC (amd64 and i386), work fine ! Nice job.
