    Hi,

    I made a beta2 for SuSE Linux 7.3/SPARC. You can download the iso image
    from

    ftp://nozzle.suse.de/pub/suse/sparc/7.3-beta/suse-sparc-7.3-beta2.iso

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 663846912 Oct 15 16:10 suse-sparc-7.3-beta2.iso

    md5: 973f60e6b4f4b9be51a2738c75c00f48 suse-sparc-7.3-beta2.iso

    I don't know if this will boot on the Blade 100. I hope so. If not,
    I have to remove reiserfs, lvm and softraid for Blade 100, something
    which I would hate to do. The 3D lite cards for Blade 100 are still
    not supported, you have to remove it.

    Known problems:
    - Permedia2 cannot be configured with YaST2, only with SaX2. But
      works due installation with YaST2.
    - reiserfs on UltraSPARC crashes the kernel under high load. I
      test already a fix for this.

    There are reports that UltraSPARC-I CPUs does not work with
    newer 2.4.xx kernel. I cannot verify this since I don't have a
    Ultra1 or Ultra2 here.

    The 32bit Kernel is now compiled with egcs 1.1.2. I hope this fixes
    the SCSI problems for some people, it does not fix them for me. So
    I'm also interested in any results.

     Have a lot of fun,

        Thorsten
