I am stumped and need help. I cannot install SuSE9.2 (32-bit).
Last weekend I bought 2x 250GB/16MB cache Maxtor HDs to replace 2x Maxtor 120GB/8Mb cache HDs which now reside in my second (Testing) computer.
Now I cannot install v9.2. The install stops at the point where the partitions are either being formatted or at the point where this has been done and the software is about to be installed - I am not quite sure at which of these stages all activity stops. However, the computer is not locked-up because the mouse still works and the lill clock is still going round and round, ad finitum.
I can install SuSE v9.1, can install Xandros Deluxe 3.01, can install Fedora Core 4, and even Ubuntu 5.04 but not SuSE 9.2.
I can re-install the 120GB HDs in the Main computer and 9.2 will install.
I can install the 250GB HDs in the second (Testing) computer and 9.2 installs there without a hitch.
I can install 9.2 on the second computer with the 120Gb HDs then transfer these to the main computer and with a small "fiddle" 9.2 will run on the main computer.

Thanks ro all who tried to help me with this problem. I still have the problem and am most annoyed for having spent a lot of money on SuSE 9.2 only to find that it won't install on 2 of my computers while all other distros install without a single hiccup (include now Mandrale 10.1 in the list I gave above).
A friend of mine took pity on me and gave me a copy of the ftp version of 9.3 and this installs quite happily.
When v10.0 is released I am going to inquire if the vendor will take it back and refund me my money in accordance with the consumer laws in this country if the damn thing won't do what it is supposed to do and not install on my computer(s). Once bitten twice shy.
Cheers.
-- Hi ..
I did have a couple of problems installing 9.2 but found a strange way round the problem . I found that if i started an windBlows install then just pulled the power on it then put the 9.2 cd or dvd in the drive it would install perfectly as to the reason i don't have the faintest idea but it worked and is still running now perfectly well may be worth a try if you have a blows dics around ..
