I think that my struggle resulted in one potentially important symptom that I didn't see in my review of the comments for this issue. (If it is, my apologies.) What I noticed is that while it was "hung" in "Search for Linux partitions", it was actually making many repeated I/O requests of my IDE DVD drive. All the requests heated up the IDE DVD drive. Like Tom C, the install eventually (after _many_ minutes) did move beyond the "hang". But unlike Tom C, I was not able to continue past the prompt for the distribution disk; attempting to do so resulted in a "no medium in drive" error (but of course it was in the drive). The acpi=off boot option did not work around this issue for me. My only "workaround" was to go back to 12.1, which I have done (life must go on). So unfortunately, I won't be able to provide any additional info. :-( But +1, IMHO. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
