https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=282635 Summary: openSUSE 10.2 will not install install properly on an older Vaio laptop Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source- 2.6.20/+bug/114682 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: anavi@earthling.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Its a PCG-954A Pentium 3 processor. 695.6 MHz 254 megs of ram chipset: intel i815 only the "safe settings" install will install at all. It issues a text based installer, but does not set up a root username and password on the end of the install, so login in the initial boot is impossible. I am using the correct x86 install version. I have installed xp Service pack 2 and which works fine if that helps. A similar problem comes up with Zenwalk 4.6.1 and Ubuntu 7.04 Although with these distros the problem is worse, and they won't install at all. this may be a clue if this helps: in a standard install attempt, it loaded to the step of "SETTING UP STANDARD PCI RESOURCES" where it froze. It was issued with windows ME In an attempt to not reinvent the wheel, since I reported this to the ubuntu team, and it has since been confirmed as an ubuntu kernel bug, I will provide a link here so that clues, code and research may be shared into what seems to be a common problem. A fix for one may fix them all. here's the link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/114682 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
