Well I finally got the SUSE 9.0 for AMD64 to work.
Glad to hear that.
Here's the things that were required:
Installed ATA133 Hard Drive to due no SATA Support Disabled Legacy USB Support in Bios (I don't think this made any difference) Removed PC from KVM and connected keyboard direct (not USB). Upgraded Motherboard BIOS to ver. F4 from F2 (GIGAByte Model = KVT800PRO) which was the final key item I think. Anyways I was able to Install SUSE 9.0 for AMD 64 after doing the above (the boot parameter poll=idle was not required). After the SUSE 9.0 was installed I removed the direct keyboard connection and reconnected the PC back to the KVM which uses USB for mouse and keyboard, rebooted and SUSE picked up on the USB keyboard right away.
Now that it's in, it looks impressive, just two more things I need to do, one install the Nvidia 3d Driver (looks rather difficult with SUSE 9.0 for AMD 64) and I am greatly looking forward to the release of Kernel and boot iso with VIA SATA support so I can take this old hard drive back out.
And I'm working on that iso - hope we really get it done... Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SuSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
