Hi,
Finally, I manage to install SuSE8 on this machine by using ftp instead of harddisk.
Congratulations! :-D
However, this is far from finished article.
Each time I need to boot from safe setting, otherwise it will hang at certain point (notably when loading/detecting usb-storage). I haven't experiment with each safe parameter (nodma, apm, or acpi), but judging from others experience, I suspect the problem is the acpi.
acpi? I'm not surprised.
Another problem is that perl interpreter is unavailable. I've chosen the perl package during installation slection. However, during installation, I got twice a message that "y2xfer.rpm could not be found/accessed". I have search in ARCHIVES.gz, INDEX.gz, or ls-lR.gz (zgrep y2xfer <...>) but no result. The immediate effect is that I can't run sax2. I've tried executing "perl" directly from bash shell, and I got "command not found". I haven't tried to locate or find it yet, as I was in hurry to go back.
Check your source tree with this "chk-SuSE" script (reports every file that hasn't a matching checksum): #!/bin/bash SuSE="${1:-/mnt/SuSE/suse/i386/8.0}" esc=`echo -en "\033"` clrln="${esc}[2K" function pushd() { builtin pushd $@ > /dev/null } function popd() { builtin popd $@ > /dev/null } case $1 in -h|--help) echo "`basename $0`: MD5SUMS check for SuSE Linux" echo "Usage: `basename $0` [SuSE-directory]" exit 1;; esac MD5SUMS="`find $SuSE -name \"MD5SUMS\" | grep -v \"/full-names/\"`" for i in $MD5SUMS; do d="`dirname \"$i\"`" f="`basename \"$i\"`" echo -en "$d" pushd "$d" failed=`md5sum -c "$f" 2> /dev/null | grep -v "OK$" | sed -e "s|^|$d/|g"` popd echo -en "${clrln}\r" [ -z "$failed" ] || echo "$failed" done
The last problem is that I could not power off the PC without pressing the button. Note that I've boot using safemode kernel (ide=nodma, apm=off, acpi=off). Any suggestions?
What button? The power putton on the PC case, or a button on the screen? Leen
