I actually blagged it ;-) When it came to the reboot after CD1, I let the LILO installation fail, and then booted from the CD again, loaded the aacraid module, and then selected boot installed system, which it did and of course continued the installation from CD2 onwards. When it had finished, I ran YaST and installed the kernel I wanted (it had failed to install, presumably as a result of the LILO failure), I then setup the initrd and LILO (I had to manually add the initrd line to lilo.conf) and ran lilo. For some reason, LILO was able to install itself this time! I also had to manually specify the module for eth0 in /etc/modules.conf (it's e1000 if anyone's wondering) Copied to feedback@suse.de for their information. Cheers James
I haven't tried to install SuSE on a poweredge yet, but a low tech work around for the short term might be to use a boot floppy. -- James Ogley, Unix Systems Administrator, Pinnacle Insurance Plc james.ogley@pinnacle.co.uk www.pinnacle.co.uk +44 (0) 20 8731 3619 Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.0) Updated GNOME RPMs for SuSE Linux: www.usr-local-bin.org
