OpenSUSE 10.3 on PowerEdge 2500

[Kevin Davidson]

Hi

Should anyone else be barmy enough to try and install OpenSUSE 10.3 on  
a PowerEdge 2500 and wonder why it fails after linuxrc, there seems to  
be a problem with the Broadcom IDE driver as the CD disappears mid boot.
 From grub's menu choose Install, but add the option  
"brokenmodules=pata_serverworks" and everything will be fine.

Next challenge is to get OMSA installed (has anybody ever built it  
under OpenSUSE? It's not in the Build Service directory and I can't  
work out which source RPMs I need after easily 5 or 6 minutes of  
looking around the yum repository). I tried hardcoding into the  
bootstrap script that it was SLES10, but that didn't work either...

OMSA looks nice enough from the CentOS live CD.
