[opensuse] Can't get the OpenSuse 10.2 64 disc to run
I have an AMD 64 Athelon which can run the 32 bit version of OpenSuse perfectly, but when I boot up from the 64 disc and select install, the screen goes black and stays there. Am I missing something? Or does AMD 64 not mean that it's a 64 bit processor? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Not sure what you mean here. Are you saying that you have a 32 bit version installed? And you are trying to do what? AMD64 means it is a 64 bit processor. That processor will run either the 32 bit version or the 64 bit version and in some cases a combination of the two. More info before we can help you.

In general amd 64 systems can run linux x86_64 - but there could be some issue with your motherboard such that the 64 bit linux x86_64 kernel isn't liking it. If 32-bit works, there's no harm in staying 32 bit until it's time to buy your next motherboard. If anything, you may have an easier time with multimedia and 3rd party software on the 32-bit OS.

Some motherboards have issues with the install, 64 bit or 32 bit. Did you choose the Failsafe Install option? That usually solves most problems I've had with installs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
