Install problem with 8.2 Beta 9 for AMD64
Hello, I am having trouble installing the beta. I have a 2 processor AMD Opteron 242 - 1.6Ghz MSI K8D Master (AMD 8131 Chip Set) - MS-9131(v1.X) SSI Mainboard It has 6GB of ram and a 40Gb IDE harddrive If has a removable Harddrive rack install (for using multiple OS's) and when the Window XP Professional 32 bit OS disk is installed it works fine. all images (disks 1 to 3) were downloaded and the MD5 sums generated and compared with the values on the website all were correct. The images were burned to CD's. When I install the SUSE Linux beta using all default settings (except time zone) it goes through the installation of disk 1 and reboots at the end of disk 1 without asking for disk's 2 or 3. After rebooting the system hangs with blank screen after flashing some text on the screen (which I have been unable to capture). If I boot with "Linux - Safe Settings" option it displays to these two lines and hangs Starting kswapd bigpage subsystem: allocated 0 bigpages (=0MB). Any Ideas how to get my $11K box running linux??? Regards Louie

What size do those DIMMs have and in which slots are they?

That's ok. It should reboot after disk one and then continue with the other disks.

Try to remove some memory. Does that help? I've tested this MSI board running with both 1 GB and 5 GB of memory...
