Evaluation on Suse 9.3

The 9.2.1 installation documents say the eval installation supports Suse 9.3, but system check reports not valid OS version. I hope this is the best place to ask questions for the eval?
Thanks,
Van

Hi. Could you post your scalix-installer-xxxxxxxx.log file from the /var/log subdirectory? That should give us a hint as to what might be going wrong.
Thanks,
Rachel

You can also run the installer with the --debug switch; this will give you more information in the window where you start it and also in the logfile.

Thanks for posting the log. This indicates the cause of the problem.
You are using the x86_64 Bit version of SuSE 9.3 (64 Bit); Scalix is currently only supported on the i386 (32 Bit) version.
Unless you are using an Intel Itanium CPU (that only supports the 64 Bit Kernel), you can easily run 32 Bit Linux on your 64 Bit CPU. Assuming you have less tan 16 GB RAM, this will make no visible difference.
Hope this helps,
Florian.
