Hi, I'm trying to install SuSE 6.0 on a new SCSI HDD but the installation can't get past the "select installation media" stage.

The hardware : MSI 6120 Dual PII mainboard with adaptec AIC 7895 UW SCSI adapter. One IBM U2W DDRS 34560 HDD and a Pioneer DR-U16S SCSI CDROM.

I booted from the CDROM and it went into LINUXRC successfully. I went to 'Start Installation' and select 'Installation from CDROM'. After trying to mount the CDROM, it gave an error msg of 'An error occured during installation'. I went to Alt F4 and saw the following error msgs :

Startup Unable to identify CDROM format VFS: brelse : Trying to free free buffer sr_photocd : (SONY/PIONEER) Hmm,seems like the CDROM doesn't support multisession CD's.

Can anyone help me on this?

thanks!

The only thing I can tell is that I have some problems with my SCSI Pionner CD and SuSE 6 using aic7xxx. I have a mainboard ASUS PB2DS / AIC7890 onboard controller. Right now I have one processor only. The CDROM is detected but does not fuction well particularly when I am using Yast to install or desinstall packages ! Thanks for asking this question I am sure that very quickly you will get some usefull help from the list folks !
