Has anyone successfully installed 9.2 on the following piece of hardware:

- Sun v20z - Dual 250 Opteron

I recieved an install error when attempting to write the MBR and install grub config.

Before I post the full length error, I figured I would see if anyone had success with an install on this particular set of equipment.

If you installed 9.1 successfully, then that would be nice to know too.

I didn't run an installer, but I booted an IDE disk with SuSE 9.1 that had been partly updated to 9.2 on one of these with 2 Opteron 248's installed (I'm sure that last part wouldn't have made a difference).

Anyway, the IDE disk had the GRUB bootloader and it booted fine, for what it's worth. Maybe your situation has something to do with the the SCSI setup usually in these boxes.

I'm trying to remember, but does anyone know if there is an option to select a specific kernel version when going through the yast install? I know it is detecting the LSI chipset as it loads the module for the scsi controller (inserting the modules2 floppy) -.mag
