Hi,

I run SuSE since release 7.1 without problem, but I just built a new 
computer :

- Asus P5WD2 Premium motherboard, Intel 955X chipset
- Pentium extreme edition (Pentium 840 dual core with hyperthreading) 
processor
- 1 GB DDR2 memory
- Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX Pci express
- Hitachi T7k250 Sata2 250 GB disk
- Hitachi 7k500 Sata2 500 GB disk
- IDE DVD rom and IDE DVD writer

for earlier compatibility I installed :

- Adaptec 39160N SCSI adapter with SCSI CRrom and 36GB HD

I tried to installed SuSE 9.3 or 10.0 (32 bits for beginning) either in 
normal or in
safe mode and the system freezes after :

Activating usb devices
Activating ieee1394 devices
Searching for file info ...


As indicated in the SuSe database, I choosed the compatibility mode in order
to be able to install on SATA disks !

In order to ckeck if the problem comes from SATA, I uninstalled the SATA 
disks
and kept only the SCSI disk, same result !

Can someone help me ?

I'll register my official copy of SuSE 10 and ask for help, but I don't 
expect a reply.

Thanks in advance.

Michel.

PS : the system runs perfectly with Windows XP.
