[opensuse] Failed to initialize the catalog
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/4b75083608cd94d8d90072b6bbdd803d.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Trying to install SLES10 SP1 on a dell poweredge 4300. I am not using the PERC2/SC RAID card as SLES10 does not have the kernel module and it seems all support for this card has stopped. I have an Adaptec SCSI card a 18gb SCSI drive installed now. After i am asked about the installation mode (new or update) i get an error that it could not initialize the catalog and i retry and get same error. I have burned new disc 1 of SLES10 thinking it might be the disc, same error with new copied disc. Are there any problems with SLES10 and poweredge 4300? How do i get the catalogs to initialize? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So, i tried SLED and this time it made it passed the installation mode. I made it to installation settings (where you are asked for partitioning and software). Well, the software section says "no catalog found at device:///cd(something)". Also, i notice i am not asked about the license aggrement. I notice when booting from the cd, at the prompt, it says "unable to find license.zip" and skips the license agreement on yast. It seems to me to be a problem with SLE not liking something on this server.
