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.
Here's the info from boot.msg for my dvd <4>hdd: JLMS DVD-ROM LTD-166S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive 4>hdd: attached ide-cdrom driver. <6>hdd: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache
I have noticed that there isn't a hdd=ide-cd in grub anymore, is this no longer needed in 9.0?
Same over here! I ended up in copying the dvd (the needed stuff) to a partition on HD. After that I installed from HD and that just went fine. Later on I tried the same dvd in another computer and that one could just find the packages. So it's indeed not a medium error. For me the ide-cd did not help, does it for you?

In the user Guide, SuSE state that if the intsall falis when booting with the first CD, one alternative is to boot with the second cd which has a more conventional 2.88mb image of the boot kernel. Perhaps users having install problems could try this approach. LW999
