I have never used instlux prior to this. All the files do exist on C:\. When I removed the hiddenmenu, nothing special happened - no errors, etc.
It outputs the following information right before going to the grub prompt: ---- Booting 'find /menu.lst'
find --set-root /menu.lst (hd0,0) Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xc configfile /menu.lst ----
Actually it should be "find --set-root /openSUSE_hitme.txt"
4. If I reboot with the DVD out of the drive, it properly loads at least to a point where it says "you passed an undefined mode number" and I can wait 30 seconds before it continues on. The video parameter is set to vga=0x31A. Eventually it starts the install. Which screen resolution do you use in Windows?
Also, my 2 cents is that vga=normal should be default. Anything else just slows things down and can cause problems (256+ LUNs?). But I realize that's out of the scope of this bug. We set the vga mode to have later bootsplash running.. so users don't get bothered by booting dumps... We should try to fix the bug for your system.
I would like to see an installer that can format an available partition and install the RPMS, etc from within the running OS (whether that be Windows or another flavor of linux). We try to avoid as much actions in the instlux installer as possible... so i doubt that we will do a complete install while running Windows. At least instlux wasn't designed for that task. Maybe you should report this enhancement upstream... i will also talk to the upstream Maintainer about that feature.
