I'm trying like heck to install SuSE 10 on an IBM pSeries (710)...but not having much (any) luck. During the install it provides two options for bootloaders, ppc or none. ppc doesn't work and if I choose none then...well...I can't boot to it! In fact, I haven't been able to even boot to the installed system from the CD install app. Anyone installed 10.0 on this hardware yet? Where am I going wrong? I'm almost certain it has to do with my partition setup, but I've tried it with and without a boot partition - and I have created/kept the PReP partition (maybe I should blow it away and recreate). I'm a newbie but there's no need to be kind - let me have it, so long as it gets this thing going! :)
