So, I tried it now and waited for 45 minutes. I guess after that time it should have responded in some way or the other, but it didn't.
Any further suggestions?

If I were set up with the 166 Pentium here I would try loading it myself. Unfortunately I'm in no position to try it for a few months. I'll ask on my local LUG though and pass on any info' I get.
Well, I haven't really watched this thread so if this was already said, well, sorry:
Have you tried a manual installation? In theory that box should be able to run.
Oh, and this may sound stupid, but for ... 9.1? The 64 bit version was on the other side of the disk, have you tried usiong the other side? I once did try installing when I didn't know which side was which the one to use. It does say something about you're using the wrong side but if it's freezing you may not get to that point.

Thanks Allen, what I reported is as follows: BIOS Report is as follows: Pentium MMX, 166 MHz 192 MB main memory Primary Master Maxtor 91360U4 (13.6 GB) Primary Slave Maxtor 92732U8 (27.3 GB) Secondary <none> Card-01 OPL3-SAX Sound Board Adaptec AHA-2930CU SCSI BIOS v1.34.1 SCSI ID: 4 TEAC CD-R55S SCSI BIOS Not installed A report of "yast2 hwinfo" (SuSE 9.0) is also available (~80 Kb). The installation of SuSE 9.2 hangs at the following last line:
SUSE Linux installation program v1.7.17 (c) 1996-2004 SUSE LINUX AG <<<
The last thing I could see it doing, was changing the Font on the Textscreen. After that it is doing nothing anymore. That even happens when I try to install it by using "Installation (save settings)" in "Text Mode". I have two versions of SuSE (7.3 and 9.0) installed and running on that box, so it is definitely something inside the 9.2. Originally I installed it using the CD's. This time I used floppy disks. But the result is allways the same as reported above. With the floppy disks I intended to install it using nfs where the installation source is copied to another machine, but it never gets beyond the above reported point. Maybe I should take out everything that I do not need to install it, maybe then it would get up. Martin
