For some reason, I can't even start to install SuSE 8.0 on my system. Currently, I am running Debian 2.2(?). I have a 2x P-233 board. The drives I have are as follows: hda: 20GB Maxtor hdb: 60GB Maxtor hdc: 80GB Western Digital hdd: 24x CD-ROM The problem, apparently, is hdc. Prior to today, I have had a 27GB Maxtor in that slot. In both cases, Debian will access the drive. When trying to install SuSE 8.0, though, the install script hangs at the point of the parition check for hdc. If I reboot and unplug the power from the drive, it will boot fine, just without the 80GB drive (of course). If I replug the power, Debian will reboot. The drive reads at the proper capacity during the install log (79999999 KB), so I don't think it's a BIOS issue. What could have changed in the kernel, and how can I get SuSE installed? Thanks in advance for the help. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com

You did try booting with 'safe settings', right? -- -ckm -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com
