Hi Verdi. I honestly don't believe it is the partitioning, I have a hd configuration different from yours but the error is "exactly" the same. I do believe it is a YAst2 problem, that doesn't allow changing the source medium from CD to hd or other...I'm frustrated about it as well, but so far no light in the end of the tunnel yet.

Hm, that's strange, because I think I remembered it correctly. Anyway, I'll try to check again tomorrow. Regards, Verdi

Hi,
Today (night actually), I tried to install SuSE 8 (ftp version) to Dell Opt Gx240 at my lab, but fail.
[snip]
My hardisk structure is: hda1: Primary partition, NTFS (Windows Xp), about 7 GB hda2: Empty primary partition, this will be the mount point "/". Size is about 3 GB. hda3: Extended partition. Size is about 8 GB. During installation, this is displayed as "Win95 Extended (LBA)" (or something similar).
You forgot something: hda4: Unused entry in the partition table in the MBR (!)
hda4: Empty logical partition, this will be "/home". Size is
about
3 GB.
-> hda5
hda5: FAT32, this is where SuSE installation sources reside (D:\installer\suse8). Size is about 4 GB.
-> hda6
hda6: Linux swap partition. Size is 1 GB.
-> hda7
[snip]
The entries in the partition table of the MBR are always numbered 1-4,
ev en if they are unused.
Example (hdb): 1 Extended partition (Win95 Extended) = hdb1, and 1 logi cal partition in that Extended partition = hdb5.
