Hi All, Following my posting on 31 Oct the general list consensus was "duff CD", my supplier replaced the set without question, and I've added a 40G HD exclusively for Linux to the original spec given. Guess what :- The problem is exactly the same, installation gets as far as "starting yast" then the dreaded "RED BOX". As you can imagine I'm a bit ****** off to say the least. ANY help appreciated, is there something in the BIOS I need to check ??, is Linux incompatible with the AMD 71X AGP Motherboard ?? Cheers Mike L

Takes forever to get a response back from them and if they classify as a hardware issue, which they likely will, there is not much it will avail to. Anyway, I have a problem with 9.0 on a Dell Optiplex G1 box where the system will hang after installing the sound driver. Interestingly, there was no problem with that machine when using SuSE 8.2. This is now my third time trying to get 9.0 on that machine and while I am not ready to give up, yet, I can only say that it is mighty frustrating. Best regards, Alex.

Best regards, Alex. I had a simular ptoblem with my laptop, it would lock up when trying to install the sound card. I resolved it by adding pci=noacpi to the boot params.

New subject: soundcard problem, was: 9.0 installation problems (Part 2)

IIRC that setting is part of the failsafe settings installation, isn't it? I was unable to overcome the soundcard problem even when trying to install in failsafe mode. Anyway, I will try to give more details about the soundcard etc. tomorrow when I am back in the office where the stubborn machine currently sits. Best regards, Alex.

Always when a machine complains in a step while I am installing, I always skip that step, thanks to YaST you always may configure easy any hardware device anytime. but first I get the installation, later I install everything I want or fix everything I want. In SuSE there are no differences, if something works, you are going to be able of get configurated in any moment. Not necesarly just in the install process On Thursday 20 November 2003 18:09, Alex Angerhofer wrote:

Did you tried with text only install, may be the problems are with your video card. And when a linux install is hard, always works well the text install choosing F2=text (FireGL 1,2 or 3 is not possible to use graphic mode) other options acpi=off acpi=oldboot acpi=force pci=noacpi Other reasons: bad positioned jumpers hardisk and cdrom as master (but cdrom in 2nd place in order) or you can use hd(x)=cdrom (x) is used for a,b,c and has the next mean a Master in 1st IDE controller b Slave in 1st IDE controller c Master in 2nd IDE controller Well everything is in Administration Manual On Friday 21 November 2003 00:14, Mike L wrote:
