If everything doesn't go well, we could have a second GMC that gets tested. If the md5sum checksum of the .iso file you have matches what becomes available for download after GA, then you would be supported. If it doesn't, then not. (My opinion on that, not an official statement of support.)

The installation on most system is smooth without any issues, Installation and running our Application (also with Japanese language settings!) works fine. I also tested a subest of file transfer protocols without any issue (Will be continued...) But I have seen two issues, which I would like to ask for: We install the Infiniband packages (ibutils, oder, opensm + automatic dependencies) regardless if such a card is install in the system. On some systems I get messages on the "boot screen" which indicates the ib0 and ib1 interface failed for configuration (correct, as no Infinibad adapter is installed). But also I have different servers - also without such an adapter - which did not log this kind of message. This also happens on SP2, I have also seen the message, but was not yet aware that it is sometime not present even if no card is built in. How is the creation of the files ifcfg-ib0/1 triggered by the YaST or package installer"? This would help for my analysis of this issue. Next issue was for a test on a HP Rack installation: No GUI after SLES11 SP3 x86_64 install when attached monitor to a KVM. Hardware is a HP DL380p G8 server, HP LA2405wg monitor, HP IP Server Console Switch (KVM) AF616A. SLES10 SP4 x86 and SLES11 SP2 x86_64 work fine with same hardware. Install of SLES11 SP3 x86_64 completes, the monitor displays "Input out of range. Change settings to 1920x1200". HP Support says this is OS problem and won't help. Note: There is no problem if this monitor is direct connected to the server. I use autoyast for install, but the same problem occurs if manual install is performed. Server Details: embedded graphics is Matrox G200 eH driver is : XFree86 v4 Server Module: mga Workarounds I've found are: 1) overwrite xorg.conf with xorg.conf.install, reset X, then use sax2 to select higher resolution (highest modeline in xorg.conf.install is 800x600 - there are no modelines in xorg.conf) 2) put this monitor's vert and horiz sync info into tag of autoyast file - but this is not practical as automatic detection of the monitor is required to use one autoyast file for all monitors connected. A SP3 upgrade on a working SP2 installation that had 1280x1024 resolution (ML350p G8) works fine. The failure is only with new installs of SP3 on this configuration. Thanks to all for the good work!!

SUSE CONFIDENTIAL !! SUSE CONFIDENTIAL !! SUSE CONFIDENTIAL !! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dear Beta Tester, unfortunately, the BIOS/EFI firmwares bugs today are getting worse and the outcome of this bugs are such severe, that they can break your hardware. For that reason we had to redo the GMC to lower even more the possibility that customer will run into this. This means that we had to create a GMC2 for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 and the SDK. The changes compared to GMC are: kernel: - Modify UEFI anti-bricking code (bnc#822080). - Disable ERST pstore by default (bnc#816892). - powerpc: Add isync to copy_and_flush (bnc#823191). - x86, avx: don't use avx instructions with "noxsave" boot param (bnc#821802). Additonal, we updated the release-notes-sles package and fixed the font of the PDFs of the sles-*_{ja,ko,zh_CN,zh_TW} packages. On the SDK we fixed inkscape: - Upgraded the private Boehm garbage collector to version 7.2d. This is a probable fix for bnc#819794. 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 3 DVD ISOs: DVD1 contains the binaries, the second DVD the sources and the third DVD the debuginfo packages. The final product will not contain the debuginfo packages on the media. Please verify the md5sum of the ISO using the MD5SUMS file, which can be found in the same directory on the download servers.

You want to take the kernel _SOURCE_ from the SLES 11 SP2 update channel and recompile on SLES 11 SP3? That wont work: as I said, the SLES 11 SP2 and SP3 kernel share the same upstream _base_, but the two kernels have different patches on top. In other words: 3.0.76-xxxx (SLES 11 SP2) != 3.0.76-yyyy (SLES 11 SP3). > Probably a dumb question, thought I would ask before trying. In addition, recompiling the kernel renders the _whole_ system of the customer unsupported by SUSE. DO NOT recompile any packages from SUSE, and please to not suggest anybody to do so.

You want to take the kernel _SOURCE_ from the SLES 11 SP2 update channel and recompile on SLES 11 SP3? That wont work: as I said, the SLES 11 SP2 and SP3 kernel share the same upstream _base_, but the two kernels have different patches on top. In other words: 3.0.76-xxxx (SLES 11 SP2) != 3.0.76-yyyy (SLES 11 SP3). > Probably a dumb question, thought I would ask before trying. In addition, recompiling the kernel renders the _whole_ system of the customer unsupported by SUSE. DO NOT recompile any packages from SUSE, and please to not suggest anybody to do so.
