Wireless

Now that Suse 10 is up and running - it's pretty useless until I can get the Wireless networking sorted. The system is dual boot with WinXP.

The card is a netgear MA311

Grub error 18

Well - I installed Suse 10 alongside WinXP on my home system. I recently upgraded the dying hard disk from 60GB to 180GB (supposedly a 200GB HD - but you know the score).

During the install and after the 1st CD - the system reboots as expected but fails to restart with "grub error 18".

It turned out that creating a boot partition 0f 0.5 GB (probably 100MB would do) fixed the problem. It seems that grub has an issue with large partitions.
