Memory requirements to do install have grown (unfortunately), 9.2 needs 256M at least. Although installed system runs just fine in lower memory (without X11, of course)

Does this include a text only mode install? Not GUI? I'd be surprised if it is.
Yes, unfortunately it does include a text only mode install!

Hi Martin. The general concensus of opinion from some far more knowledgeable friends of mine all seem to think ACPI may well be the culprit here. It would make sense being as it is on a board that supports a 166 Pentium. So I assume the board is around 5 or 6 years old at the earliest? Have you tried the install without ACPI enabled? I remember seeing it when I installed my 9.2 it's about the third one down 'I think'.
I even used the fourth down which is: apm=off acpi=off mce=off barrier=off ide=nodma idewait=50 i8042.nomux psmouse.proto=bare and I chose "Text Mode", "NFS", "Verbose" and "Driver" right now again, with the same result. I was thinking how I could activate the swap devices which are there (-Kastus wrote that I would probably need 256 MB main memory). So far I thought that it would be activated automatically. I wouldn't even want to install X (at least not starting it) since I intended to use it as a server only, even though I would like to use YaST2. Martin
