iBFT CHAP Authentication Target Parameters Not Parsed Properly By The Installer

Description If you enable mutual CHAP authentication on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP 2, the target

parameters like IP, Port, and IQN are not parsed properly by the ibft module.

Workaround Enter the authentication information such as the CHAP name manually during iSCSI target discovery

phase to expose the target disk to the installer.

Intermittent Loss Of USB Functionality

Description The USB subsystem may intermittently fail during startup on systems with multiple USB Enhanced Host

Controller Interface (EHCI) and Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) controllers.

Workaround Reboot the system.

Cause When the EHCI is initialized, devices connected to the UHCI are disconnected. Attempting to install a

driver, while trying to disconnect the device can result in an intermittent loss of USB functionality on the

system.

iSCSI And Large Receive Offload (LRO) Incompatibility

Description The operating system may stop responding when an Intel 10 GB adapter tries to connect to an iSCSI

target with large receive offload (LRO) enabled. This issue can also occur during the installation of the

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP 2 on an iSCSI target using an Intel 10 GB adapter.

Workaround Download and install the latest network drivers from support.dell.com.

Intermittent Failure Of Keyboard And Mouse At The SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 GUI

Description The keyboard and mouse functionality fail intermittently at the GUI login prompt of SUSE Linux Enterprise

Server 10.

Workaround Load the EHCI module (ehci_hcd).

Cause The EHCI and the UHCI drivers loading concurrently cause the failure of USB controllers initialization.

This results in loss of USB functionality.
