after a lot of troubles with 12.3 and the raid0 on 2 ssd 64gb sata all thing went as qiuck as wetsand through a straw had to lowlevel erase then in order to use then again
so 12.3 goodby and 12.2 installed the drives were not useable any more format errors etc etc
so installed 2 new ssd Samsung M5S 120gb sata6 each
dit a lowlevel erase on the drives through the AMD raid software in bios
Installed 12.2 all the updates kernel 3.8.5.1.1 Kde 10.11 in repositoiries/printing New Libre office
Yast updated from repositorie working as normal
When i now change 12.2 to 12.3 in Index of /distribution/12.2/repo/oss in Yast software repositories
and want to upgrade 12.2 in 12.3 for those parts which are newer I only get 300 to update
So what is 12.3 just a bug release ???
Why did it take that long to release then and in the state it is now
no install on a mobo with AMD-raid sofware in bios Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ 990FX 4xDDR3 ATX sata6
Why not a upgrade on 12.2
I dont install 12.3 its exit stage left.
Keep 12.2 till there is a true NEW release 13.1 or so.
Doing something wrong if you only see 300 updates. Since you never said what you where doing it is hard to say what you are doing wrong.
But to do a upgrade to 12.3 you need to do a zypper dup not a zypper up
First: I doubt the SSD’s weren’t usable anymore.
Second: I don’t see any “fdisk” output, nor other.
There’s so many options that could have caused what happened, but nothing useful to say about it without decent information.
Is there any call for support here that I missed, or can we move it to the Chit-Chat subforum.
BTW my experiences with 12.3 are the complete opposite of yours.
What happens in 12.3 is that a partial patition is on the ssd’s then you get a error -3030 when it want to format /boot
after that you have to lowlevel format the ssd’s because 12.2 cant do anything with /boot
so in the installer 12.2 you have to repatitions the drives use RAID hole in /boot swap and / different values as 12.3
/boot 12.2 = 156.88 mb
/boot 12.3 = 164.73 mn in the installer but what value is he using to patition and format the raid there is the problem -3030
