Has anyone else had troubles installing from the dvd? The computer booted fine, but when it got to the software proposal I got a no packages found / media error message. I ended up installing from the cd's and now i can't even change the source of installation to the dvd. Yast doesn't even check the dvd drive, only my cd burner.
I can mount the dvd, and the packages are there, so I don't think it's a media problem.

I have seen several unit fail SuSE 9.0 DVD install.. I have a rather new Samsung DVD with all firmware upgrades. The DVD boots fine and makes it way to the screen that searchs the DVD for "Packages". There it fails with an error like -> Unable to load package description. My system is setup as IDE Primary HDA (Master) and HDB (Slave) with IDE Secondary HDC (Master) is a CDROM and HDD (Slave) is the DVD combo burner. Both CDs are thought of as ide-scsi and therefore are /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1. SuSE 9.0 will boot off of the DVD but fails to be loaded properly. Also Yast2 about half the time fails to mount the CD due to the fact it is looking for /dev/hd or /dev/cdrom. If I manually mount the CD yast will go ahead and work. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net
