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. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation)

Well, opensuse 11.2 was the only OS burned DVD at hand... A coworker tried some ubuntu version, and I tested also SLES11SP2 (3 different tests), all of them were 64 bit distros... I was thinking about NUMA issues for example... I'll give it a shot with 12.3 and report back if there are no other suggestions.
