Sorry if this has been brought up recently, I am new to the list. Is it me or are there some problems with 7.3. Very rare for SuSE, but my newly purchased 7.3 Pro would not install last night. Tried a laptop and the machine will not boot, tried a desktop and the install froze before I finised installing.
Is it Resier? The hardware is the same, 7.2 installed like magic and I am not upgrading, I always start fresh. I wanted some of the new features of 7.3, but on the first couple of tries, it is giving me heck.

I did have a problem installing 7.3 but I don't think it relates to your problem. I have 2 SCSI controllers on my system and the CD-rom is on the secondary controller. This requires me to a) load an extra module, and b) enter a parm at boot time. These 2 issues have always worked for me starting with Slackware 3.2 about 7 years ago (my first linux) up through SuSE 7.2 Pro and including a lot of Caldera and RH in between. 7.3 Pro started off just fine and it found the CD-rom and did the initial base install but when it rebooted to finish up the install, it totally forgot all about the secondary controller and I had to whistle a lot of dixie to get the install started again. Somebody broke something in the 7.3 install. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
