2007/10/11, Dave Howorth <dhoworth@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk>:

Has anybody installed 10.2 or 10.3 on one of these beasts?

We have 10.2 on one and it mostly seems to run. But sometimes it hangs whilst booting, not in any one particular place. Vista works fine.

fdisk and parted don't understand the disk structure and there are boot messages about seek errors on sda so I suspect the disk controller is not completely understood.

We called the Novell support number we had been given in the US, were told to call the correct number in the UK (where we are) and then told to run YaST repair. It didn't seem to find anything significant but suggested writing a new grub menu without Vista :) :( which we ignored.

Before we spend too much investigating and/or trying 10.3 I wondered if anybody had any experience with this model.

I don't have experience with that model, but had some issues with my Dell Inspiron 6400 that disappeared after some BIOS releases, maybe you could check if there are any bios updates for you laptop.
