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.

It may be of no use at all but check your jumper settings on the hard drives. Try setting up SuSE on just one drive to start with, as in just one drive being connected. I further these thoughts as I have had problems caused by the jumper settings on Maxtor drives with SuSE 9.2 All M$ OS's would install fine with the settings in a particular configuration but SuSE didn't like them.
Sorry if it doesn't help.
Follow-up to my earlier reply. Nope, resetting jumpers and only using the one HD still produces exactly the same results. But I have determined one thing: I have/had Xandros installed and the install of SuSE 9.2 stops dead at the start of the software installation and AFTER the partitions (/ and swap) had been formatted because now the Xandros loader cannot find the OS.
