Hi - I downloaded the ISO image for Leap 42.2 to install it on my brand spanking new ASUS laptop and ran into an unexpected issue. (I did verify the MD5 checksum so suspect the DVD I put the image on is OK.) The installation starts up OK with a lot of text output and gets to the point where 3 overlapped green bars are showing progress and at that point it opens up a dialog box asking me what the URL is for the repository. It gives me 3 options for the CD, the hard drive, and the internet URL. I chose CD obviously but it acts like nothing is there and keeps asking. My guess is that something is wrong with the basic CD/DVD driver that is being installed? Funny that the installation started up OK from the DVD but then it appears to lose the ability to talk to it at some point...
Installation kernel and initrd are loaded by BIOS (or bootloader), no kernel is involved at this stage. As you see, as soon as kernel comes in picture it apparently fails ...
Do you want me to send any more info? How do I proceed? Thanks in advance, Marc...
Well, at the point where it asks for installation source you can go back until you come to the initial dialogue, select Expert and Shell. This allows you to poke around - e.g. whether kernel actually detected your BD drive or not. Keep in mind that this is pretty basic environment lacking a lot of usual features and commands. E.g. it does not even have dmesg, you have to cat /proc/kmsg directly (and kill it with ^\). Alternative is to try network install, install from USB flash or similar. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
