Trying to install Suse 8.0 Pro on a Compaq Proliant 1600R
Hello, I was wondering if anyone on this list has had any luck installing Suse 8.0 Professional on a Compaq Proliant 1600R. I did just recently purchased the latest version of Compaq's Smartstart v5.40 software to configure the system's raid array along with the Linux configuration it includes. I've tried both the Safe Settings and Manual installation modes just to see if maybe there is a hardware conflict with the installation but I always end up getting the red dialog saying 'An error occurred during installation'. The last thing which tries to load is ncurses after Suse installs the ramdisk. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve
Try using the Safe Installation, but replace the defaults with 'mem=XXXM'
where XXX is the MB installed in your machine or you can use 'mem=xxxxK to
specify in KB the RAM count you see at boot time.
