With the borrowed set of SUSE 8.0 disks I was able to acheive only a partial install of SUSE Pro. DIsks 2,3,4 were unrecognisable this on two different systems. On my system Suse 7,2 did fully install.
Now on LILO I find I have a new feature called Suse Safe Settings. Is this some form of alternate Kernal based on lowest common denominator hardware?
I dont want to test it on either machine until I get a proper install.
Can the remaining disks be mounted/examined on another system, rather than trying an install with them? The Safe settings use a few more boot options, turning off some features. Not really very safe. You can examine the differences in /etc/lilo.conf . If you make any changes to it, be sure afterward to run lilo, which will write a new BOOblock (er, bootblock) to the disk. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj29lo0ACgkQnQ18+PFcZJszUQCbB042IQObClaFKaO4S+KlUq1/ dCYAnAuFkQMcyBvUSRwr+I8/F2FZoCA+ =XEfM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
