My installation starts from FD using the command 'linux nomce'. It takes 10-15 minutes with continous FD accesses until installation proceeds with reading from CDROM.

You cannot boot from CD-ROM, I assume? Is it a USB model? Why is the floppy drive so slow? Is it USB, too? What is that "nomce" parameter? Never heard of it.

Thereafter installation continues with error messages and finally aborts because of various reasons...

Well, *what* error messages? Why do people always omit the important parts? :)

Installation of SuSE 7.0 in the same way (FD + CDROM, 'linux nomce') works fine.

Kernel of SuSE 7.0 is 2.2.16-22. Kernel of SuSE 73. is 2.4.10 -4GB. The problem is maybe related to the kernel version...?

Most likely, depending on the error messages :)

The problem was announced to SuSE support early in November but SuSE support has not yey succeded in assisting me with a solution.

Hmm, that's odd.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve my problem?
