Dear listers, I got SuSELinux9.2 for Japanese before the year end, and some bad experiences folloed. (1) The media is a Double layer. Unfortunately, my old DVD rom cannot read it properly. So, I had to buy new ones with DVD+R DL capabilities. One of them, NEC, however, cannot read 64bit distribution. At the beginning of installation, I see something to the effect that I am going to install 32bit linux onto 64bit machine!? On the second DVD+R DL, Plextor, I checked if I can read it. After confirming the media can be read properly, I created duplicates. A funny thing is the duplicate can be read properly on the NEC drive!? (2) I installed 9.2 on to EPoX 9NDA3+, with FX55, 2GB, and a single Seagate 160GB SATA. The machine has been running properly for a month or so as a FreeBSD5.3 diskless cluster. But, I have observed system freezes several times already with SuSE Linux 9.2. # An SATA drive is now connected to the SATA3 connector. I wonder if somebody can tell me a success story with a similar setup. Thanks for your attention. yoriaki fujimori
