The installation firstly drops back to text mode (install doesn't like either the ati card or the 19" widescreen) and then loops at the "Start installation or update". There is no error message apart from an unhelpful "The Installation failed" with "OK" & "Back" buttons, both of which seem to do the same thing. I can't find a log entry (I'm not certain I'm looking in the right place) nor are there any on-screen messages saying what happened. Very frustrating.
Many thanks to all who supplied help. I finally got it to work - 1) change all the fstab entries to use device ID instead of device name. 2) Create a small (6GB) partition and copy the DVD contents into that. 3) Run install using this new partition as the repository and using no-apic & smallest screen size (800x600). Then 10.3 installed! David -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
