Re: [opensuse-amd64] RE: Help! newbie: openSUSE 12.1 installation failure
Hi "Chip5",

Which main board do you have?
As I don't know which main board you have you might have 2 SATA
controllers. Which SATA controller are you using for raid. Or do you have
a raid card installed, if so which brand/model?

I think this issue related to raid.

Regards,

Joop.

I am installing from a full DVD obtained at the recent Los

Linux Conference/Expo.I haven't yet found the chipset that is being
used in the
system. The disk works successfully on my older AMD Athlon.

 

1) When system is started, the green openSUSE
"Welcome" screen appears,
followed by the openSUSE Installation
choices menu screen. When the
“Install” option is chosen, system displays a
window showing “Loading
Linux Kernel” (with an increasing % progress line).

 

3) Instead of the expected License Agreement and Language
screen, the
system displays AMIBIOS information including hardware test
details,
RAID details, "ISOLINUX 4.04 ...",then goes back to the openSUSE
“Welcome” screen. System
repeats this tight loop until I choose
“Install from hard disk” option from the openSUSE
installation choices
menu screen. System then loads Win7.
