Hello everyone, We just received a brand new server, and I just spent several hours trying to install OpenSuse on it, but couldn't get it to. The Hardware is a Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy RX330 S1 (product page here http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/products/standard_servers/rack/ primergy_rx330s1.html ), and I tried both the 10.3, and then the 10.2 net install discs. I even tried the 10.3 Gnome install CD, just to be sure. (Note: all 3 are the x86_64 flavors) Both 10.3 discs didn't even get me to any menu or anything: I would get grub (is it grub?), and go to the normal installation. It then tries to load a bunch of modules (first was pata_serverworks, which crashed and I subsequently had to deactivate it with brokenmodules), eventually getting to the NICs, and crashes after that. Even disabling the module it tries to load then (tg3) doesn't help, it does nothing for a few seconds (cursor blinks), and then just reboots. I tried disabling the NICs in the BIOS (all of them, even the management thing), but it still tries to load the module. I had a little more luck with the 10.2 disc, as I could get to the "installation or other stuff" menu (can't remember what exactly is in there) without the need to disable or block any modules, and I can start the http installation, it downloads the image for the graphical installation, it even gets there, probes the mouse (little window hovering), the window disappears, the "menu" on the left hand appears, and the thing crashes. No error, no nothing which could give me any information about what causes the problem. I then tried different other discs I had lying around: a minimal Gentoo x86, a Gentoo LiveCD x86_64, a Damn Small Linux x86, but none worked as expected. The Gentoo discs fail while trying to mount /dev/ hda (the optical drive), and the DSL doesn't manage to start an X, and defaults to the CLI Interface, but I don't get networking or anything, even USB is broken somehow (tried to copy the ouput from lspci). Any suggestions what I could try from here on? Or this there someone out there with the same server who managed to get _any_ GNU/Linux distribution on it?
