Dear all.

I faced great troubles installing 7.2 on Dual-P-III box with ASUS-CUV4X-D mobo. (Via AppoloPro 133A) I can boot neither from floppy, nor CD -- it freeses while kernel boot -

last messages are:

ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs .. changing IO-APIC physical APIC ID to 2 ... ok synchronizing Arb IDs. .. TIMER: vector=49 pin1=2 pin2=0

however. i tried a boot floppy from RH 7.1 -- it loaded, but i do not want RH on my box -- i need SuSE there!

Any ideas?

I had to supply:

disableapic apm=off

on the boot line of the install diskette. Not sure if it will help in your case.

Nope..different disks are unneeded it should work. I just built a 7.2 box for a co-work that had dual PII450's in it. Worked fine. It could be something in the BIOS. My co-worker had some weird USB stuff enabled in his..as soon as I turned it off..*bam*..it worked fine. I would bet 10-1 it's hardware related. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin
