|
|
|
| Description | The ATI Rage XL 8 MB video driver may cause unpredictable behavior in the server GUI. |
|
| Selection of this driver on supported servers may cause problems varying from loss of |
|
| keyboard and/or mouse functionality to server hangs and abends. This problem is |
|
| intermittent. |
|
|
|
| Workaround | See Solution. |
|
|
|
| Solution | Use the default video driver that is automatically selected during installation. Novell has |
|
| decided to archive this driver, so it will no longer be maintained and it will be removed |
|
| from the Novell Overlay CDs for SP1 and later. This driver will remain on the base |
|
| media; however, it should not be used. |

Issue 11 | Server may hang with large NSS | |
|
|
|
| Description | The NSS file system can hang if the SET parameter "NSS Read Ahead" is set to a value |

|
| completed due to constrained resources as a result of the parameter setting. |
|
|
|
| Workaround | Set the "NSS Read Ahead" parameter to a value of 128 or less. |
|
|
|
| Solution | Novell is planning changes for SP1 that will properly comprehend settings greater than |
|
| 128. |
