opps!
Adaptec 29320A ultra 320
I assume you've tried the 'safe' install? Just an option to try.
Perhaps another obvious suggestion, but the few times I've had trouble installing SuSE, it's been a YAST problem, and the text install option worked just fine - not quite as pretty though!

I've gone the text route also, several times just to be sure. It takes you, textually, to the same point when the gui kicks in for selecting mouse, language, time zone, and then HD formatting and package selection. Saying O.K. results in HD formatting, then the start of package installation; 3-4 install fine and then YaST somehow gets "lost."

Dave,
Do you that machine networked? If so, you could try a NFS/FTP/HTTP install with the sources on networked machine with the 'Instalation Server' yast module... Just a thought...
Alas, it is not networked. ;-(

Can you copy it to harddrive and make a hardrive source install? -- Rui Santos http://www.ruisantos.com/ They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither one of them.
