Hi, I tried writing it more than once and also from different systems. But it does seem to hang at the exact location and does not seem to go further. With regards, Arun Murali On 7/15/07, Masaru Nomiya wrote:

I had got a smilar problem as you.

That is,

1. downloaded iso file, checked md5sum, it's ok 2. burned iso file on DVD-R, checked md5sum, it's ok 3. tried to install, failed.

I douted DVD-R media, so I burned iso file on another DVD-R again. Then, I could install without any problems.

Is your DVD drive OK?

I am using CD based installation and i have tried writing the cd in more than one system so i guess the problem is not with the media. The reader is same as the writter and works quite fine.

Another possibility;

Which video card are you using?

I am using the Intel DG956RY Mother board, which comes with a Built in Intel x3000 Graphics accelerator.

Hi, I wanted to try my hands on the SUSE 10.2 as my friends reported it quite stable. I downloaded the latest x64 version of the SUSE and it does not load yast. The system crashes after showing loading yast.

My system Hardware is Processor : Core2Duo(4400) MotherBoard : Intel 965 Memory : 1GB.

Is there any particular problem with Installing Open SUSE on this hardware?

I checked MD5Sum after downloading and it seems to match with the one given in the site.

Hi Arun,

The 10.2 is quite stable, your friends are right.

There is one bug for Core2Duo and Intel 965, but it seems to be unrelated: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268120

Besides graphic card as Masaru mentioned it can be inappropriate graphic resolution for the monitor. Symptoms are usually the same as when graphic card has a problem, black screen and monitor power on signal (here green light) goes out, start blinking, or change color (here orange). This means there is no usable signal for monitor.

Have you tried to lower graphic resolution or text mode installation? If not try to select lower video mode or Text on initial boot screen.

In the text mode navigation is using TAB and cursor keys, or Alt and highlated letter in the word. For instance if you want to go Next, letter N is yellow and Alt-n would be the same as highlight whole word and press enter. Although I'm not good typer this works better than mouse. If this doesn't work than use TAB to switch to that window and then it will work.

BTW, if all attempts to fix installation fail you can use 32 bit version, it will complain about installing it on 64 bit computer, but it will install it and work.

-- Regards, Rajko.

Are you sure that your processor is a 64 bit? I have a friend that has a Core2Duo and it is 32 bit. That may be part of the problem, of course it is just a shot in the dark. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It is integral. It's the whole point of it. AMD came up with it when they saw that nobody wanted to go with IA64, since it didn't support their legacy 32bit apps -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you install the 64 bit version on a 32 bit computer it'll tell you, not crash.

I'd try an FTP install to eliminate the idea of a bad DVD image.

Otherwise try a safe mode or text mode install.

He should be able to verify the DVD as part of the install. This can be done on any computer running SUSE. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is the next thing i have in mind but i heard it takes a lot of time.

I have been doing ftp installs for 10.3 on my laptop and don't find it slow at all. You need to have the image on local PC though.

Besides i am not sure if the system will automatically be able to detect and load my wireless lan card driver and use it. I had an issue with earlier linux i was using. Any how i will give it a try. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

How do you keep a local image ? May be i will give it a try this evening.

I keep the image on my desktop system, loop mount the image and use ftp access it. Since it is on the local network I get the full 100M wire speed. The only bottle neck is the 5 year old slow laptop, but hey it still works and is good for testing the new release. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Could try a memory check, there's a boot option on the CD, dodgy RAM could cause the crash, install in text mode in case there's an issue with the graphics card driver.

No, it takes the same time as a gui install.

Then you just install it manually afterwards. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - your spam is our business. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I sent one mail before this on that. It uses x3000 Graphics chipset, built in with the mother borad.

I have tried text based installation too. The problem is it shows, loading Installation system .. 100% Starting hald ... Starting Yast And it crashes. I had used the same media to install in my cousins system and it was fine there.

In the text mode navigation is using TAB and cursor keys, or Alt and highlated letter in the word. For instance if you want to go Next, letter N is yellow and Alt-n would be the same as highlight whole word and press enter. Although I'm not good typer this works better than mouse.
