I found the problem, it seems that Suse installer does not manage the IDE 3 / IDE 4 port connectors, and the two Hard disk was connected on this two ports. After connecting the two HDD on IDE1 port the installation take place :-)) Nevertheless at the step to install the monitor, after clicked on Start test button, nothink happens => no video test. On the previous PC thats works fine. The main difference is the Video card,. on the new PC, the card is a PixelView (vith Nvidia processor GeForce 4 TI 4200). Does anyone know if this type of video board is supported for Suse 7.1 , and in that case how to find the "driver" , and how to install it. Thanks a lot for any answer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "pCarlo " To: Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 12:51 AM Subject: [suse-autoinstall] Problem to install SuSe Linux on PC with Athlon XP Hello, I recently changed my PC. Now I have an Athlon Xp 2000, the motherboard is the Gygabyte 7VRXP. I have the Suse 7.1 distribution, and I cannot arrive to install it, because the graphical installer do not found the Hard disk. My PC config is the following : a.. Procesor : Athlon Xp 2000 b.. AMI BIOS GA-7VRXP F10 c.. Gigabyte 7VRXP motherboard d.. "Windows XP " e.. CR_RW (Secondary Master : SM) f.. DVD_ROM (Secondary slave : SS) Video Card : Nvidia GEForce 4 TI 4200 g.. Hard Disk Seagate ST360021A (Primary Master : PM) h.. Hard Disk Seagate ST360021A (Primary Slave : PS) The two disk were formatted on "NTFS" by the reseller . I formatted then the second one (primary slave) on FTA32 to permit to SUSE 7.1 to recognise it. Nevertheless the Suse installer cannot find the Hard Disk. I changed the bios version from the lastet to one te older (hard disk always absent). Then I reflah the latest version (F10). During the start installation, the Suse installer recognisue the CD_RW and the DVD_ROM, but nothink about hda or hdb. On the Bios Setup, the PM & PS are on Auto config. I try to change the config by the user config possibility, but nothing happens. The Suse installer do not found the Hard Disk. I would like some help to install again the SUse 7.1 version. (This works fine on my previous PC based on a simple AMD Athlon 800 mhz). Thanks for your help or suggestions.
