[opensuse] install iso, disc media problems...? install from hard drive?
I'm installing (a variant of) OpenSuSE v.13.1 64-bit and am presented with the initial welcome screen when booting to install. After a moment, the screen turns dark, and nothing happens. Currently I'm running Ubuntu 14.10 on this box and plan to dual boot: thufir@doge:~$ thufir@doge:~$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Could it be a hardware/driver recognition problem? The md5sum for the iso checks out as valid, as does the the DVD disc itself: thufir@doge:~$ thufir@doge:~$ cdck -t -v Track list (1-1): 1: 00:02:00 (sec: 000000) data 170: 82:48:60 (sec: 372510) data (leadout) Disc status: data mode 1 Multisession: 0 Audio status: failed to get, reason: Input/output error Try to find out what sort of CD this is... CD-ROM with iso9660 fs iso9660: 727 MB size, label 'KIWI CD/DVD Installation ' Creating software: '0xc1c764e9' bootable CD NB! For disks written with some burners cdck might report about unreadable sectors at the end of the disk. In such cases you can just ignore those warnings. Reading sectors 1-372510 372508 ok CD overall: Sectors total: 372510: Good sectors: 372510: Bad sectors (incl. with poor timing): 0 CD timings: Minimal = 0 usec (0.000000s) Maximal = 45445 usec (0.045445s) Average = 186 usec (0.000186s) Conclusion: Excellent disc! thufir@doge:~$ I can't really fathom what the problem might be. I realize it's not strictly speaking OpenSuSE, but a variant. thanks, Thufir -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It does makes things very difficult for any of us to try to help... Why don't you try to install the standard openSUSE release, and then if the problem still happens we at least can make guesses. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Indeed, it does make me ask "why?" Compared wit how easy it is to access the opensuse site and download the "official" opensuse .iso, and further, how easy it is to burn that to a DVD or dd it to a usb stick and try from that, I cannot fathom why the OP would want to take such an rococo approach.

Sure, it could. [snip]

You might want to try booting with "vga=normal" and/or "nomodeset" to see if either might sort out a display driver issue. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
