Hi all, I am having quite a problem with installing Suse 8.2 on my old Pentium MMX 200 1996 box. During the installation Yast2 crashes after root password setup. The machine sort of works after that as all user groups and special users are not created properly (I guess), network is not configured and random (from my opinion) configuration files are not created. I have tried to restart installation by various ways suggested on SDB, but none of these worked for me. I have tried Manual, Safe Settings, text mode installations with all sorts of additional parameters like noapi (disableapi), ide=nodma, apm=off, aspi=off, nosmp and various vga modes. I can run hwinfo no problem and I have set up ISA modem (hopefully) correctly after the initial boot (prior to the crash). Yast can detect network card and sort of set up modem (not properly because there are some config files missing) in an independent run after the installation failed. Would anybody know how to fix Yast in order to fix this or perhaps how to complete the installation after the crash? The error message: /sbin/yast: line 166: 1404 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" ncurses Can anybody help please?

No... except moving the HD to another PC, do the install there, and move back the HD. Just ensure the kernel uses the appropiate binary. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
That might work out. How about hw setup? Should I move network card, sound card, keyboard and mouse to the other PC as well? How would I make Yast to pick the right kernel? I only have much newer machine available for the swap, so it could possibly use different kernel version. Or, am I being naive here? Thanks, Tomas "Carlos E. R." wrote:

Well, simply don't do hardware setup, wait till you plug it back. Configure it to boot in level 3 (text mode). About the kernel, that's a different question. Two approaches. First, use the k_deflt kernel - I think that's the one. If another one is installed, Yast can install it. Or use rpm directly (remove one, install the other). What I did - for my 386SX, using suse 6.4 - was recompile the kernel using my pentium 120. I just selected the appropiate CPU in the kernel configure, and did it. Then I added the kernel to lilo, with a diferent name than the default one. You can do it following the sequence: Edit Makefile and add something to EXTRAVERSION, like -MMX. Then do the make: clean, cloneconfig (copies the running kernel configuration), then menuconfig to change only the CPU type. bzImage, modules, modules_install, then copy the kernel with another name to /boot. You can keep one kernel for the host, and another for the final destination machine. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
