Hello everyone I advised a colleague to install SuSE (6.4) on his system (he's currently running windows). He tried it, but during install, it crashes every time (while copying packages to the harddrive). It beeps, the screen goes blank and the system reboots, leaving Linux semi-installed. Which, off course is very embarrasing for me... because he installed Win95 and Win2000 earlier without problems. He configured his 45 GB HD like this ------------------------------- Windows 95 - 1 GB ------------------------------- Windows 2000 - 1.5 GB ------------------------------- / Ext2 - 2 GB ------------------------------- NTFS - ? ------------------------------- SWAP 100 MB ------------------------------- /tmp 300 MB ------------------------------- /home 1 GB ------------------------------- /data 1 GB ------------------------------- FAT ------------------------------- Unused about 30 GB ------------------------------- Has anybody got any ideas? I was considering whether the controller could be the problem...
