Just before I seek counselling can anyone help? I have a server, which I bought specifically to run SuSE linux on with the following configuration: AMD K7 Athlon processor 700MHz 512 MB 100MHz SDRAM Dimms S3 Trio graphics card 3com 905 network card 2x Maxtor UDMA 66 13Gb Hard disks 1x Maxtor UDMA 33 9Gb Hard Disk However, the system (using YaST2 or the eminently superior Yast1) will not install on anything but the first 1.5Gb of /dev/hda and only then by resetting the system every time it locks, and rebuilding the rpm database, starting YaST and taking it up where we left off. Needless to say, this is not what should happen! The only way we can get it thusfar is by entering the kernel line: linux mem=510M hda=1661,255,63 hdb=1661,255,63 hdc=1245,255,63 hdd=cdrom I spent a day trawling through the sdb, deja.com and linux.com, and everybody is sure that the athlon now works fine with 6.3 (I had the mtrr problem with 6.2 and thus upgraded). Also can anyone explain what Bad Magic is?
