Hello: I am trying to install suse 9.2 on a pentium 4 with Microstar board. As soon as i put the CD or DVD, and choose install/manual installation/safe installation it hangs and show the following message: ... Call Trace: [<c0289e1e>] pci_bios_find_device+0x1e/0x40 [<c028a0c8>] pcibios_sort+0x58/0x180 [<c03ee7d1>] pcibios_init+0x71/0x90 [<c03ce752>] do_initcalls+0x22/0xb0 [<c0100400>] init+0x0/0x110 [<c0100427>] init+0x27/0x110 [<c0104255>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x10 Code: 81 fe 00 ff 75 05 8a c1 ee eb 11 66 81 fe 01 ff 75 07 66 8b c1 66 ef eb 03 8b c1 ef 66 9d 66 5a 58 f8 c3 c3 c3 66 50 66 53 b7 00 <2e> 8a 83 96 04 00 66 5b 8a d8 66 58 c3 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 <0>Kernel panic -not syncing:Attemted to kill init! I've tried 9,3 and the same output, the suse 9.1 boots the installer ok and install a base systems, but when it boots again the same thing. The behavior is very similar to that posted in this list: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-amd64/2004-Dec/0058.html The bios is most likely updated, passing mem=2048M does not work. The solution suggested about switching off the USB controller is not working either. Thanks for the help Camilo Ruiz Salamanca University http://optica.usal.es
