I'm having an install problem with Suse 10. The first CD goes fine, then the system reboots and halts with the following...

GRUB Loading stage1.5

This is on a brand new PC purchased this month from Monarch Computer Systems. They are now offering to pre-install Suse 10 but were not when I ordered the system 3 weeks ago.

I purchased Suse 10 from CDW and its is the 32-bit version.

This PC is an AMD Sempron 64. I do get the following message when the install starts...

"Cool Computer but..." "You are installing 32 bit software on a 64 bit machine"

Could this be part of the problem?

Another point, I noticed this has a SATA hard drive. After some Googling I found out that SATA support is pretty new to Linux. Could this be a problem?

I've been using Suse 8.1 since it was released and that was my last linux install, so I'm a little rusty.

Pleas help!!

Vi, Here's my configuration... - Case: Monarch 1150 USB 2.0 Tower Case w/300 Watt Power Supply (Black) - Motherboard: DFI K8M800-MLV K8M800 Onboard Audio, Video, SATA, LAN, USB, IEEE-1394 - Processor: AMD Sempron 2800+ 256K 90nm (754) w/AMD Certified Opteron/64/FX Heatsink - Memory: 512 MB DDR (400) PC-3200 Corsair (VS512MB400) - Hard Drive: Western Digital 80GB SATA 8MB Cache 7200 RPM (WD800JD) - CD-ROM: LITE-ON SOHR-5239S 52X32X52 CD-RW (Black) (Retail Box) Here's another thing I just noticed, and I posted this in response to Paul's suggestion. I wanted to see if I could install FreeDOS on this PC and had the following problem... - booted to FreeDOS floppy, partitioned and formatted hard drive, everything went fine - re-booted to floopy and formatted hard drive, went fine - re-booted to floopy and Installed FreeDOS on harddrive using SYS, and copied files to harddrive. No problems - tried to boot to harddrive and recieved same error "GRUB Loading stage1.5.". - booted again to the floopy and all the files were on the harddrive. Just can't boot to it. Any ideas? Matt
