I got a thinkpad 770z with and tried to install suse 8.2 pro but total fail. I used pm7.0 and started from fresh. No good. Reshot the bios no good. It starts installing then will say it can not install this and keeps telling me that for all. Any ideas?

Try the failsafe install option. Most likely cause at install time is APM and ACPI conflicts. On the boot options line try apm=off and acpi=off. After a succesful install you can re-enable either APM or ACPI and that depends on your laptop's APM or ACPI capabilities. There is also an outside chance you'd have a PCMCIA conflict. But first things first. Stan
