I had some spare time, so I decided to give M6 a spin. Not overly successful, though.
Context: Software: M6 IA32, NET iso, repo=factory. Hardware - Proliant server, dual Intel PIII, 256M RAM. Installation on 2-drive RAID5 SCSI array behind Compaq Smart-Array.
I tried it four times, all produced a hung system, in a hard lock up. No flashing keyboard LEDs, no indication of any kind. Had to power off to get the system restarted. I then tried with "noacpi apic=off" which at first seemed to work, but then still ended up hung.
One clear regression - on the two attempts where I got as far as switching the bootloader to LILO before the system hung, I never got the window with "Boot Loader Location" (when configuring the bootloader.
Just in case this was a hardware issue, I tried an 11.0 NET install instead, which is going fine just now.
Can you test installing in text mode? 256MB might be a bit challenging with latest software stack - but it's just a guess Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
