Sometime during the 3.0.5 build the extra kernel modules were not loaded into the build. This was found in 3.0.9. The result is some SCSI controllers, NICs, etc, not loading after the install. The solution is as follows:
After the OS installs, and with an internet connection, you need to take the following actions:
1) Boot from the hard-drive (NOT THE CD!)
2) At the GRUB screen, make sure "openSUSE 11.3" is selected
3) Type 'e' to edit the boot options
4) Using the arrow keys, highlight the line that starts with "kernel"
5) Type 'e' to edit this line
6) Using the arrows keys, move the cursor to the left until you see the letter 'pae'
7) Change 'pae' to 'default', do not add any extra spaces
Press enter when done
9) Using the arrow keys, highlight the line that starts with "initrd"
10) Type 'e' to edit this line
11) Change 'pae' to 'default', do not add any extra spaces
12) Press enter when done
13) Press b to boot with the default kernel, this is temporary, rebooting will not reboot with this kernel
14) Once the system boots up, login as root
15) Type 'zypper in kernel-pae' to install the missing kernel modules
16) When done, type 'reboot', the system will reboot, and you should be good to go
Obviously, if your system boots fine, you should just do step 15 and 16 from the list. This will take care of the missing components and should not require recompiling anything.
This will all be fixed in ViciBox Redux v.3.0.10, but the build environment for that is currently on the fritz. The OpenSuSE team is working on it as we speak to correct it.
