I am guessing your raid config is to blame but do the following and if that
fails then try installing without raid. I have 2 K8Ws here and they all work
fine.

Update the bios on your board.

install and select runlevel 3 as startup and use the ncurses yast to update
to latest and greatest snapshot and kernel.

Subject: [suse-amd64] problems installing 9.1


Hi,

 

I have a dual opteron rig and can't install suse 9.1 on it. It hangs every
time.. I've tried it with acpi on, without acpi.. without acpi and DMA, have
turned all the powersave functions in bios off. It still doesn't work. I
managed to install it once and during the installation I moved the mouse
everytime. But it hangs every time when running KDE3. can't use YOU to
update because of the crashing of the machine. Have run several memory
tests.. installed Windows XP and ran prime95 for hours, 3d05 for hours. No
problem no crashes..

 

This is my rig:

 

Dual AMD Opteron 244 

Tyan Tiger K8W

2 GB Corsair Low Latency pc3200 Registered ECC (4* 512 Mb)

Leadtek Winfast A360 256 MB (Nvidia FX5700)

4 * WD 360GD (raptor 10.000 RPM)

Plextor 116A DVD-rom drive

360 Watt Chieftec 02B-BX-BX case

2 *92mm intake coolers

1 * 120mm outlet cooler

 

Suse Professional DVD install 64-bit

 

/boot on a separate partition.

 

/ on md0 (linux soft raid 5)

4 swap partitions

 

 

Need help!

 

Greetz,
