You 'n' me both...
When yast appears to hang, are you still able to switch to a console with Ctrl-Alt-F2?
No. The machine is 100%, completely, totally and utterly stiffed. As dead as a very dead thing. I tried installing it on another machine, in case it was a hardware problem, but this time I got the error that there wasn't enough memory to run YaST. It's a very *old* machine... :)
ftproot\suse-10.1\CD1>md5sum SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM-i386-mini.iso 2856068334b8b0f9af7a88ae66d573fc *SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM-i386-mini.iso This checksum is correct.
Indeed. It's the filename that was wrong.
What file were you using to compare sums? The correct sums are in ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/MD5SUMS
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/MD5SUMS ... although that redirects to: http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/MD5SUM... The checksum file you suggest is exactly the same. Checking my ISOs against it gives failures on all five i386 discs, but an OK on the mini.iso with the correct filename. BTW: I've also tried booting with textmode=1, which did cause YaST to revert to text mode, but it still hung in the same place...
