I found the problem, it seems that Suse installer does not manage the IDE 3
/ IDE 4 port connectors, and the two Hard disk was connected on this two
ports.
After connecting the two HDD on IDE1 port the installation take place :-))
Nevertheless at the step to install the monitor, after clicked on Start test
button, nothink happens => no video test.
On the previous PC thats works fine. The main difference is the Video card,.
on the new PC, the card is a PixelView (vith Nvidia processor GeForce 4 TI
4200).
Does anyone know if this type of video board is supported for Suse 7.1 , and
in that case how to find the "driver" , and how to install it.
Thanks a lot for any answer.

Subject: [suse-autoinstall] Problem to install SuSe Linux on PC with Athlon
XP
Hello,
I recently changed my PC. Now I have an Athlon Xp 2000, the motherboard is
the Gygabyte 7VRXP.
I have the Suse 7.1 distribution, and I cannot arrive to install it, because
the graphical installer do not found the Hard disk.
My PC config is the following :
a.. Procesor : Athlon Xp 2000
b.. AMI BIOS GA-7VRXP F10
c.. Gigabyte 7VRXP motherboard
d.. "Windows XP "
e.. CR_RW (Secondary Master : SM)
f.. DVD_ROM (Secondary slave : SS)
Video Card : Nvidia GEForce 4 TI 4200
g.. Hard Disk Seagate ST360021A (Primary Master : PM)
h.. Hard Disk Seagate ST360021A (Primary Slave : PS)
The two disk were formatted on "NTFS" by the reseller .
I formatted then the second one (primary slave) on FTA32 to permit to SUSE
7.1 to recognise it. Nevertheless the Suse installer cannot find the Hard
Disk.
I changed the bios version from the lastet to one te older (hard disk always
absent). Then I reflah the latest version (F10).
During the start installation, the Suse installer recognisue the CD_RW and
the DVD_ROM, but nothink about hda or hdb.
On the Bios Setup, the PM & PS are on Auto config.
I try to change the config by the user config possibility, but nothing
happens. The Suse installer do not found the Hard Disk.
I would like some help to install again the SUse 7.1 version. (This works
fine on my previous PC based on a simple AMD Athlon 800 mhz).
Thanks for your help or suggestions.
