Has anyone successfully installed SuSE 7.1 on a Dell PowerEdge 1550? The manufacturer rates it as certified with Red Hat 7.0. I thought that this might be close enough. When I tried to install SuSE 7.1, at first it said that there were no hard disks found. Then, I used some screen to manually probe for modules, and suddenly, it found the hard disk, a RAID 5 array. I thought I was home free. But, when I rebooted it, it couldn't run anything. Even before it got to LILO, it told me to "press F1 to reboot, press F? to do something else..." I gave up and installed Red Hat 7.0. At one point in the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD directions, before I got to the Red Hat install, it had me create a kickstart diskette, then type "linux ks=floppy noprobe" at the linux boot prompt. After that, the RH install went automatically to a successful conclusion. How come I could install RH 7.0 and not SuSE 7.1? Any ideas? I'd still like to convert this box to SuSE 7.1 before I get too far along setting it up. Can I upgrade from RH 7.0 to SuSE 7.1? Thanks for your thoughts. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.
