I am trying to run Suse-3.2 on my Alienware-17 laptop. I have attached all of the machine specs. (First laptop I saw with 2TB of disk, 32GB of ram and fast 4 core processor). When I boot the DVD and tell it to load the install program it proceed to the point where 3 green dots appear on the screen and hangs.
Is there a way to run the installer in test mode so that I can see what is going on? Has anybody installed Suse on an Alienware laptop? Is this graphics chip set supported? Any assistance would be appreciated.
I did run the system with their default UEFI boot system. But the DVD loaded so I though I should at least get to the point where it asks me questions.

You can press Esc when the three dots appear to see the output of the commands the boot process is executing and see where it hangs.
I pressed the esc and saw:
Loading Installation System (1/5) - 100% Loading Installation System (2/5) - 67%
Then nothing. Is there any way to get more detail, or dies this help?
Is this consistent or does the percentage vary? At this point it is reading installation files from the DVD and storing these in memory. Did you run a check on your memory?
It appears to be fairly consistent, maybe +- a percent or two. I did check the memory, using the Win 8 and native tests. I hear the DVD drive spin for a couple of seconds, then it stops. How does one get more details on what is going on? In the "old days" under Fedora, there were FTP sites where one could go and download the source code. I cannot find anything similar under opensuse. Is there a way to determine what file are being loaded? Thanks, Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
