GRUB Loading stage1.5
This is on a brand new PC purchased this month from Monarch Computer Systems. They are now offering to pre-install Suse 10 but were not when I ordered the system 3 weeks ago.
I purchased Suse 10 from CDW and its is the 32-bit version.
This PC is an AMD Sempron 64. I do get the following message when the install starts...
"Cool Computer but..." "You are installing 32 bit software on a 64 bit machine"
Could this be part of the problem?
Another point, I noticed this has a SATA hard drive. After some Googling I found out that SATA support is pretty new to Linux. Could this be a problem?
I've been using Suse 8.1 since it was released and that was my last linux install, so I'm a little rusty.
Pleas help!!

Vi, Here's my configuration... - Case: Monarch 1150 USB 2.0 Tower Case w/300 Watt Power Supply (Black) - Motherboard: DFI K8M800-MLV K8M800 Onboard Audio, Video, SATA, LAN, USB, IEEE-1394 - Processor: AMD Sempron 2800+ 256K 90nm (754) w/AMD Certified Opteron/64/FX Heatsink - Memory: 512 MB DDR (400) PC-3200 Corsair (VS512MB400) - Hard Drive: Western Digital 80GB SATA 8MB Cache 7200 RPM (WD800JD) - CD-ROM: LITE-ON SOHR-5239S 52X32X52 CD-RW (Black) (Retail Box) Here's another thing I just noticed, and I posted this in response to Paul's suggestion. I wanted to see if I could install FreeDOS on this PC and had the following problem... - booted to FreeDOS floppy, partitioned and formatted hard drive, everything went fine - re-booted to floopy and formatted hard drive, went fine - re-booted to floopy and Installed FreeDOS on harddrive using SYS, and copied files to harddrive. No problems - tried to boot to harddrive and recieved same error "GRUB Loading stage1.5.". - booted again to the floopy and all the files were on the harddrive. Just can't boot to it. Any ideas? Matt

Hi a couple of things .. Is your 300watt PSU up to the job i have had to update all of mine to 450watt jobs and if you have no data on the hdd i would suggest you "fdisk" the drive and start again unless you already have done so . I found with the suse 10.0 install (boxed version) that if i left the default install to do it's thing then all was fine but change the software selection (add software) the install went belly up on the reboot ..

'ALWAYS best to do the "default" install, then add what you need. I must say, that this is the FIRST release that upgrades have worked 100% for all I've done so far. True, a lot of clients have now rec'd their copies and I haven't do the upgrades yet, but so far I'm IMPRESSED! Now, if only SUSE could solve all the laptop problems - like wireless!!
