Hi! I'm an italian student in a school of Rome. We bought Suse Linux 8.0 and I tryed to install it on two computers we have at school. If we manage to let Linux work with these computer, we'll try to use it on all school's computers. Anyway, we get some trouble. The first computer, we tryed to install Linux on, is a Pentium IV 2.5 Ghz, with a large hard disk (120 GB) and a lot of RAM (512 Mb). On this computer the sound card (integrated on the main board) has not been recognized by Linux, and the sound doesn't work. The sound chipset name is: Sigmatel Stac 9750T. Also the printer (Hp deskjet 920C) doesn't work (maybe because of the USB ports...) and the modem (a PCI card): Aztech CNR 2800 W V92. On the other computer, a Pentium IV 1.6 Ghz, with 40 GB HDD and 256 MB RAM, Suse Linux 8.0 managed to recognize all the hardware, during installation. Anyway there's a bigger problem: when I reboot the system (after installation) it can't boot. It stops on the line about sound (something like "loading previous sound...") I hope someone could help me! Thank you in advance! Greetings from Italy, Paolo. PS Please do no write back through the list. Email me at linuxuser@progettoxiii.it or plato.elio@inwind.it
Ok, first try to instll with the "Safe" option. This will avoid any conflicts your propably having with things like acpi, and dma settings. You can always enable them later. Also, 8.1 would be my choice to be honest. 8.0 is alright but most X.0 releases tend to be buggy and I have found this to be the case and 8.1 has resolved many issues in this area. Furthermore 8.1 has a newer kernel and I also found this to have a wider and more stable amount of supported hardware. Try again it the SAFE install configuration and if possible post any pertinent log files that will give the list a better Idea of what's happening. Cheers, Curtis.

The modem won't work without drivers, perhaps not at all. check www.linmodems.org and as for the sound you should get the 8.0 updates for sound. check: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/thallma_alsaup_80.html but first for both computers check uname -a and if the smp kernel is installed remove it using the following article's instructions: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/thallma_restoring_snd80.html for the printer check www.linuxprinting.org
