Ricci, Ken and SLE People, Ia have had this problwm just recently with 2 1850Rs. You need to get a smart Compaq SmartStart CD Ver 4.2 or later. Use this to disable the onboard NIC. Once this is done try installing SuSE, the freezing should stop. SuSE will still find the NIC and you can set it up as normal. I did not have to worry about passing anything to the kernel during booting. This problem I believe is due to ACPI and IRQs. This seemed to work well. Some say another fix is to use another NIC but I could not get a number of diff types to be detected. Anyway try this and see how you go. Regards Paul K P.S. 'fsck SCO'

Ken,
It boots fine from the install CD and I can load all five CD's, but then when I try to boot from Installed System and it runs the boot messages by and the it freezes at the "starting yast" message. I thought maybe it was hanging on the RAID. What do you think?

Please keep this to the list.
I installed SuSE on an 1850R and problems until I used nousb to get the system to run. YMMV.
Are there any known problems with Suse 9.1 Professional running on a Server Class machine i.e. Compaq 1850R Dual PIII 600 Mhz 1 Gig RAM RAID 5 (3 SCSI 18.5 Gig Hard drives)
What part of the last line in my sig don't you understand?
