[opensuse] OpenSuSE 11: Live CD and Installation DVD wont Boot on a machine
Hi-- I'm a long time SuSE user and have recently purchased a new machine and installed SuSE 10.3 on it. Unfortunately I had some networking problems with the machine (seems like a common Marvell/skyline driver problem) and decided to take SuSE 11 for a spin to see if it would help, but alas, the installation DVD for the first alpha would reboot after some percentage, so I reverted to 10.3 and got myself a new network card for the machine and have been happy since. Now that you guys are getting closer to releasing SuSE 11, I thought I'd get my hands on the latest beta and give it a spin. Unfortunately, the Live CD and Installation DVD both reboot the machine just like the alpha version. When I select "SuSE 11" from the boot menu, the kernel gets to around 53% on the Live CD and rests. On the installation DVD, it gets to around 23% and the machine resets. I've tried the media in another machine and it works great, so I'm fairly certain its not something funky with the media. I've also tried doing various text modes and other boot options to see if I could get around this particular problem, but so far, no dice. As I mentioned, SuSE 10.3 works great on the machine and I've also attempted installing the latest Ubuntu on the box and that works fine too. I'm not sure how to proceed with this issue. I'd be happy to run other diagnostics or anything else to help resolve this issue, but at this moment, I'm at a loss for next steps. In case its helpful, my networking problem mentioned above occurred after I upgraded the machine from 2GB RAM to 8GB RAM; SuSE 10.3 was installed with 2GB's of RAM. The machine is an Acer Veriton M410, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6400+ processor, 8 GB RAM, the on-board Marvell Gig-E port is disabled in the BIOS but continues to show up in lspci, and a NetGear Gig-E adapter (Realtek RTL-8169) Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
