Im feeling kind of silly. I knew if I kept trying different things Id get it to work. I left the house for a few hours, came back and reset the bios to defaults, then reset the boot seqence and wallah! Its just about fininshing up lookin good!! on this machine.. yast2 detected all the hardware! It actually found my hp laserjet, soundcard, modem all within the install very nice rob dizzy73 wrote:
Hi All
I just got m new machine today, 1G atahlon nvidia tnt2.. Bought it without an os, got it home popped in the Suse 7.1 cd booted did all the hardware dectction, configured vid card 1024x768... my hp printer all went excellent! I had everything insatlled nd configured in about 40 min.... Then.... I had a an idea to switch my mouse, from there it was downhill
I would configure the mouse through yast(gpm) and could see it move, but what I got into kde,, the mouse was froze. I tried everything.. no mouse in kde
I figgured the install went so smooth I'd just install again
It seems now that Suse (yast2) refuses to get past 30% "checking system.." 30% and its hung! Its been hung for an hour...
Ive tried fdisking with a dos disk fdisk /mbr even thaought my cd got scratched.... so I tried 6.4 same thing, hang city!! I cant install linux!!! ;-/
Further, I installed a well known non linux os and it went on fine, put the suse cd in,reboot, and its sitting here hung
any suggestions? what the heck can be the problem????
many thanks rob --
