Hi, I have a junker "desktop notebook" ( ECS A900 Desknote or I-buddie depending on where you look online) that I am trying to load openSuse on and it immediately reboots as soon as the dvd tries to load grub. Right at the boot loader. I have made a number of attempts to modify bios settings and it still loops a reset. I have successfully installed Ubuntu on it, I have gotten it started on Fedora but openSUSE is the only on that resets on boot attempt from the media. All checksums are right, I have even tried the cd and net install iso and they all do the same thing. The "Laptop" has the following characteristics from what I know: Via 1ghz cpu (clocks in windows as a 776mhz) 256 mb ram (I was able to load 10.1 and 10.2 on a desktop with this much ram) Via/SIS video chipsets So, I was wondering if anyone might know why grub isn't playing nice, I have ruled out media, the dvd rom drive, and limited ram as I have it running Ubuntu. I was just hoping to find some obscure solution that would let me use my distro of choice. I think the old Suse 10.0 will load, but if I can get the latest on that would be best... any ideas other than simply scrapping the whole thing?
