Hello,
I tried a clean install of 12.3-RC1 iso openSUSE-12.3-NET-Build0024-x86_64.iso
After the install 2 things happen
1. start goes to a text mode login prompt - no gui start at all.
2. no network connected,cannot access any remote service, cant ping anything remote.
3. When I plug in a usb drive nothing shows up.  

Questions:
How can this be fixed so I get a gui [kde] start, a network connection, and a usb mounted device.
Has anyone else encountered these problems with 12.3-RC1 ?

Thanks  Glenn

3. When I plug in a usb drive nothing shows up.

Just did an installation using iso openSUSE-12.3-NET-Build0024-x86_64.iso written to a USB stick. Booted from the USB stick and went OK.
So you have to give a lot of details about your hardware configuration, otherwise this bug report will be useless.

Hello,
Since I cannot get the hardware configuration details into the bug report. I may wait till 12.3 rc2 comes along, and reinstall and see I have a network attached to eth0.

How can I start the network connection up via the command line ?
Thanks Glenn

I do not understand why you can not enter hardware details in a bug report.
You just need to give the type of your CPU, how much memory, the type of your graphical system, the type of your Ethernet interface, the type of you discs, etc.
Do you have a current openSUSE system running on your system?

Comment 4 Forgotten User Si7ddX0wxG 2013-02-27 02:42:01 UTC

On that system , I run into these problems:
- no network connected/defined via eth0 
- no usb devices picked up -cant transfer data

Have to figure out another way to get data to another machine so I can attach it to this bug report.

- so I will wait till 12.3 rc2 comes along, and reinstall  - hopefully the cdrom boot device ok.

other than that 
- Boot to command prompt, save hardware details to local disk
- Attach disk to another system and upload details.

It will take some time , so next step 12.3 rc2 comes along, and reinstall, and post the results to this report.
