Problems installing OpenSUSE 10.0 on RS/6000 43p Model 150
Hi. I am having a problem installing SUSE on my RS6K, and as you may have guessed already it's probably related to the bootloader. I've tried reading up on all the info on this subject, but I still get the same "The proposal contains an error that must be resolved before continuing" seemingly no matter what I try. I've tried booting into rescue mode from the CD and running dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4M count=1 as suggested by Olaf Hering to another person on this mailing list a while ago. After booting into the installation progran, I've tried leaving everything as it is, only disabling the bootloader option (also as suggested by Olaf in the same post), but this still produces the same error. I've tried messing around with deleting partitions and stuff in order to try to make the installer use the entire disk as suggested but to no avail. Something that further complicates things is that I'm using an old 2mb matrox s3 card as the GXT3000P I have isn't supported. Now, the S3 works fine, but this means I can only run the curses-based installer, making some of the options and procedures named differently than in the graphical installer (or so it seems, reading the installation guides), so the existing guides are sometimes confusing. Anyway, I would be extremely grateful if someone would take the time to explain step by step what to do to get SUSE installed on my RS6K. Seeing how many people seem to have a hard time making it work on the Model 150 and/or the B50, I'm sure it would ultimately save the people on this list a lot of headache, not having to answer the same questions again and again. Thanks in advance /P.
