If its a P4 you may need a new loader or boot disk that will run on the P4. Not sure where to get it from though (somewhere on ftp.suse.com).
Also, check to make sure that you have reserved an IRQ to VGA in the BIOS and set pnp bios to no.
I have my home workstation running an Nvidia video card, geforce 2 gts and it runs very well.

I am running a PII on a system with a RivaTNT2 clone with no problems. I _have_ seen that boot disk file in ftp.suse.com .. lemme see... yep! its here ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/kernel/pentium4/p4-bootdisk < I guess the whole file is not big enough to be a nuisance, and probably some lucky ones around start getting their P4s.... report, to make us envy, pleeze :) - Hope it helps README This floppy drive is required to install SuSE Linux on PCs using the new Intel Pentium 4 processor. Unfortunately the Linux kernel reports this architecture as "i?86", which is an unknown architecture for RPM and it therefore fails to install the packages. To start the installation, download the file p4-bootdisk from this directory and dump it on a clean floppy disk as documented in our support database at http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/ke_suse-bootdisk.html Now start the installation by booting off this floppy disk. The kernel image on this boot disk reports "i686" as the architecure instead, enabling you to start the installation. However, under some circumstances (e.g. an SMP system) the installation process boots into the installed system to finish the installation of the remaining packages. Since the kernel in the installed system does not ship with the above mentioned workaround, it is required to tell RPM that "i?86" is compatible with "i686". You need to press CTRL-ALT-F2 just before the reboot (when you see the message "Now booting your system"), to switch to a root console. Now you have to modify the RPM configuration file rpmrc to show that "i?86" is architecturally compatible with i686: Add the line "arch_compat: i?86: i686" by running the following command: echo "arch_compat: i?86: i386" >> /mnt/usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc Now save the file and switch back to console 7 by pressing ALT+F7. Now you can confirm the system reboot by clicking on OK. The installation will proceed after the reboot. Have a lot of fun, Your SuSE Team -------------------------------------------------------
