Hi all, I seem to have a problem with installing SuSE (or any Linux, for that matter) on a system with multiple SCSI adapters. I think the problem is how the system is configured, not with SuSE or Linux itself, so I was hoping someone could tell me what I might be doing wrong. M/B - Abit BE6-II 800Mhz P3 768MB Ram, onboard HPT366 IDE (disabled) SCSI Adapter #1 (in PCI slot #2) - Adaptec 2940UW, SCSI ID = 2 - CD R/W Drive, SCSI ID = 1 - DVD Drive, SCSI ID = 5 - Hard Drive #1, SCSI ID = 6 SCSI Adapter #2 (in PCI slot #4) - Adaptec 2940U2W, SCSI ID = 7 - Hard Drive #2, SCSI ID = 0 - Hard Drive #3, SCSI ID = 4 When I place the SuSE 8.2 DVD installation disk, I get the message on the boot screen (BIOS) that a bootable disk is in the DVD drive. The IsoLinux image boots (pretty SuSE 8.2 installation Welcome screen), and I see the progress bar load the image from the DVD. Then the screen goes black, with just a blinking cursor, and hangs there. I don't see any other information that helps me see what's going wrong. I have tried everything I can think of in BIOS settings, SCSI BIOS settings, etc. to make this work, but nothing seems to help. Everything has the latest BIOS updates. I've looked on the SuSE support db, and I don't see anything that resembles this problem. I've googled around and haven't found anything, and the folks on my local linux ug list don't seem to know anything. Does anyone out there have some insight that might be able to help me? Thanks, -ronc
