Martin, I don't know settings SuSE runs on thier kernels, but I installed 7.1 on 3 Intel 486's and one AMD 586 (not K5), all 4 machines are working well. I did go back and recompile kernels specifically for them but they all ran the default kernel for a few weeks before I had time. Austin On Tue, Oct 23, 2001 at 08:08:42PM +0000, Martin Webster wrote:

Thanks for all of you who suggested YAST1. Unfortunately, it gave same results. I turned to Debian (!!) and it worked ... So is life ...
BTW, what's the (best) way to get SuSE support included when buying the package?
-----Original Message----- From: Thomas Beauchamp [mailto:thomas@noproblem.net] For the last 18 hours I have tried to load SuSE 7.1! I do it normally OK with YAST2, no problem.
This time, it's hell!
I tried with a 4Gb HDD: newly formatted disk, no OS newly formatted disk with Windows 98SE I reduced the partition with fips2.0 (136Mb for Windows the rest free)
Same message 'unsupported partition table' 'Please repartition /dev/had'
YAST2 then goes on formatting /dev/hda1 as /boot'
I choose 'Default+Office' (335 packages) and .. at the first one 'disk space exhausted'
I have noted that there is no choice about:
Use entire disk
Delete Windows completely Shrink windows partition
What processor are you using? Just wondering because SuSE only supports Pentium class processors whereas Debian works with 486.
