SuSE 9.1 DVD (AMD64 + Intel) cannot find control file on floppy disk on opteron
Recently I bought SuSE 9.1 (AMD64 + Intel). I met a problem when trying to use the DVD and a floppy disk(with control file in it) to autoinstall SuSE 9.1 on an opteron machine. I specified the following parameters at command line in the beginning of installation append language=english install=cdrom autoyast=floppy Press Ctrl + ALT + F2, I noticed a message of "There seems to be no floppy disk" when probing the hardware. But when I use the other side of the DVD (Intel), the floppy is detected and autoinstall starts succesfully. Using the CD Rom (Intel 32-bit) also works fine. Previous versions of SuSE like SLES 8 and SuSE 9.0 detects the floppy as well. Could someone tell me what's the problem? Thanks a lot __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Have someone met this problem before? I've tried
almost all the other versions
of SuSE, from SLES8 to SuSE 9.1, 32-bit to 64-bit.
only the DVD for SuSE 9.1
(opteron) won't work. I am doubting whether the DVD is
scratched or not. So here
I post the MD5SUM of the DVD used.
30de4be400b099dd for SuSE9.1 (AMD64)
Could someone helped me out. This problem is very
important to me.
Thanks a lot.
