thanks, but I don't think this is the problem. NT workstation runs fine (and has for some time) on this setup, as did suse 5.3. I'm
This means nothing. The new kernels have much more problems, if your IDE system is not Ok, then NT or older Linux kernels have. It is very critical if the IDE cable is a little to long as the standard allows, or is not from the necessary qualitiy. Thorsten
probably going to go with compiling a new kernel as Martijn suggested in an earlier post, unless SuSE support get back to me and suggest something else.
cheers

Hi all,
a plea for help here from a newbie!
I've got 6.1 (and have had 5.3 running in the past), and I have done a fresh install. The problem is, every time I do the install, it gets as far as copying the files, starting the newly installed system, and then YaST fires up to configure things, but locks, and that's all I can get it to do...
In cases like this the first (and probably best) guess is that there might be hardware related problems.
Check your ide cable. In case it's longer than 40 cm, get a shorter one.
Check your memory. In case you have different units, remove some until you only have equal units.
Try again.
