Hello, Thank you all for the help on this so farThis is an update to a previous post/thread.I'm still unable to install Suse 10 on my brandnew PC. The PC has a AMD Sempron 64 cpu, 512 mem80gig SATA harddrive.
Based on the my prevoius post and your responses(thank you very much!) I beleive the problem isdue to GRUB and my SATA drive, but I am not anexpert in the area.
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I wanted to put as much info as possible
Here's what I've found...
- my SUSE 10 install fails on the initial boot after the first CD with "GRUB Loading stag1.5".
Just a couple of more questions. If you boot to install cd can you boot the installed system from there? Also How long have you been using linux, not necessarily just SuSE, but in general? One thing that you can try, not sure if I recommended this already, boot to the rescue system and make a note of which kernel modules are loaded that give access to the SATA drive, if at all, (let us know if the drive is available in rescue mode). This/these module(s) will need to be added to the initrd modules list so they are loaded during the initial boot sequence. This can be done from the rescue system using chroot to gain access to the installed system as though you booted to the installed system. If you're installed system has /boot on a seperate partition it will need to be mounted after the root filesystem is mounted. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
