[sles-beta] KDE Desktop not available?

[Waite, Dick]

Many Thanks Thorsten, I'll try a KVM with the same configuration I'm using with VMware Workstation. We are well into the grand German Spring holiday season now, late Easter, next week we have 1st May on a Thursday so nobody in on Friday. Beta6 on the Friday I leave for a workshop in Ireland for the week. I'll have another run with s390x and see if we can run a clean new install.

But x86-64 does not know about re-ipl ;)

I don't have VMware products here, I make my tests only on real hardware or KVM. And there it works.

I haven't seen that error yet. What you could try is, to disable the bootloader proposal during upgrade, then the old grub 0.97 should be continued to be used.
