[sles-beta] [Sleha-beta] End of Beta Test

[Waite, Dick]

Grand Foggy Morning,

One last post before we close, has anyone managed to run a successful Upgrade from SLE11-SP3 to SLES12 on the zLinux platform?
With some jiggery pokery I can run an Upgrade on x86_64 on VMware but we have failed from my first try at Beta3 to get an upgrade to run on zLinux. I'd be interested to know if anyone has succeeded. We start from a grand running SLE11-SP3 with KDE and network working well and end up sometimes getting the re-ipl to work but no network or GUI but often just a blank screen.
Not made much noise as we needed x86_64 running before effort is made on zLinux and as there were no other good people making noise then it must be Okay and it's something we were doing wrong. A new install does run, but we don't do new installs .... even with new installs we have issues but have a few work-a-rounds.

Inquiring minds would like to know...

Dear participants,

with the final release of GMC2 last week we have finished the SLE 12
Beta test. On behalf of the release managers and the whole SUSE
engineering team I would like to say

                               THANK YOU!

for all the time you have invested in testing the beta versions and
helping us improving SLE 12. I hope you enjoyed the beta test, we
certainly received a lot of valuable feedback. Again thank you for all
the emails and service requests you provided, this helped us a lot!

An additional thank you goes out to those of you who provided feedback
in the final survey last week - this will certainly be considered when
we launch the next beta test.

There are some feature requests and bugs which are still being worked on -
these are planned to be released at a later point in time.

This mailinglist is going to be closed beginning of next week, and we
are planning to invite you to the next beta test for SUSE Linux
Enterprise.

Hope to see you again!


Regards
Uwe Drechsel
