I have problems installing 7.1 on a Dell Optiplex GXM 5133.
When booting from cd-rom or the floppy disk, I see the SuSE splash screen, but than it hangs. I don't even get the "boot:" prompt. If have seen this problems with 6.3 as well I believe. Does anyone know what the prorbem might be and how to tackle it?
I have successfully booted the Dell Optiplex with a 6.4 boot disk, but I can't finish off the 7.1 installation with it (kernel/modules incompatibilities).
Have you tried to press SHIFT on bootup as described in this SDB article? http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/mfrueh_hwcheck_booten.html Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/ 90443 Nuernberg, Germany To love her was a liberal education.
