Hi, I'm trying to install opensuse 11.2 on a machine running dual Opteron
Why such an old and unsupported version?
processors with 32GB (kfsn4-dre/sas) and the kernel hangs without any info after scanning disks.
I can see that with other distros also, it can boot the installer and even complete installation with mem=4096M but the system won't boot without that. Any ideas of what can be the issue?.
Likely if you used 32 bit 11.2 the wrong kernel was installed for a system with so much RAM. Older 32 bit kernels did not by default support more than 4G. You probably need "pae" kernel. 64 bit doesn't have this issue. -----Original Message----- No, it is probably something else. Back in the days of 10.1 (yes quite some weeks ago) you already had the option to use PAE, giving 32-bit machines an additional 4 addressing bits. Or is PAE disabled in current 32-bit builds? I have to admit, it's a long time ago that i used it.... Suggestion might be, to try a live 32-bit and a live 64-bit cdrom Other suggestion, let memtest run for 24 hours.. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
