> 
> ISO images are now available for download now. Please go to
> http://www.novell.com/beta and select "View my
> beta page".Here you should see all Beta's you are part of.
> 
> We offer 2 DVD ISOs: DVD1 contains the binaries, the second
> DVD the sources.
> 
> Please verify the md5sum of the ISO using the MD5SUMS file, which can
> be found in the same directory on the download servers.

> 
> WARNING: There are UEFI firmwares out, which are buggy and using
> UEFI on these machines can make your machine completly unuseable.
> This is nothing we can fix or workaround with our product,
> you need a firmware update for these machines.
> 
> 
> Known issues:
> - FF17: Homepage is not set
> - some old ATI cards have issues with radeon (KMS), especially on
> "RV630/Radeon HD 2600 (1002:9589)" cards.
> Workaround: Use kernel option "nomodeset" and radeonhd driver in
> xorg.conf.- UEFI/Secure Boot
> - DVD images can be booted with Secure Boot mode enabled, but there
> is an issue preventing correctly loading installer later in the
> boot process (it might also affect UEFI system with Secure Boot
> disabled). To workaround this issue, we recommend to dump the
> ISO image on an USB stick (you must run
> "isohybrid --uefi " before dumping the ISO
> imageon USB stick, otherwise USB Stick won't be recognized by UEFI
> firmware properly). Only DVD image can be dumped to USB Stick.
> - An inconsistency between YaST and elilo prevent proper installation
> of shim loader, needed to boot installed system in Secure Boot mode.
> To properly install a system on a Secure Boot system, for Beta1, we
> recommend the following setup:
> * disable Secure Boot, install the system (make sure to boot with
> UEFI enabled and not legacy/BIOS mode)
> * on installed system, in YaST / Boot Loader / Boot Loader
> Installation.Make sure "ELILO" is selected as Bootloader and in
> "Boot Loader Options", check "Support Secure Boot"
> * exit Yast
> * as root run "zypper in shim grub2-x86_64-efi"
> * edit "/etc/elilo.conf" and replace "secure-boot" line
> with"secure-boot = on"
> * run elilo
> * run elilo --refresh-EBM
> * reboot your system and enable "Secure Boot" in UEFI
> firmware* your system should now boot in Secure Boot mode, when selecting
> "SB SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3" in EFI Boot Menu.
