I'm assuming that you're trying to install either 9.3 or 10.0RC. In which case, you're going to have problems booting off of a 9.0 CD and trying to run the install. Because you're booting off of the 9.0 CD, you're using the 9.0 installation system, and both the content and the format of the SuSE distribution tree have changed since then. The installation system is looking for some information in the wrong place. I'm not sure of the answer to this, so I'll throw it to the list...shouldn't you be able to use the disk images (copied to floppy using rawritewin) here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/current/boot/bootdisks/ -- to boot into the 9.3 installation system? -----Original Message----- From: James Smullins [mailto:floridaflier@cfl.rr.com] Sent: Sun 9/25/2005 11:30 AM To: Suse e Subject: [SLE] Can't install via ftp During an update the system froze and I can no longer log into the system. I am trying to reinstall by way of ftp. After it verifies the ftp site and starts probing hardware it says no harddrives found. I backed out and checked the kernel logs and it shows both drives. hda is a 40g maxtor, hdb is a 120g western dig. I have never had this happen before. I am using the 9.0 pro install cd to start the install system . The disks are not fit for install use any more. Any ideas?
