Well hopefully someone can put me on the straight and narrow. For some unknown reason 8.2 Pro's installation utility will not continue past installing the first of 5 CD's. I have tried this three times now and each time it finishes with CD1 and goes into the "completed basic install mode" and proceeds to reboot. This leaves me with a dead machine and a sour taste in my mouth. I have tried entering the cmd "cdromdevice=hdc" in the boot prompt prior to running the install but still no go. I am using an LG DVD CD-RW combo drive however I'm not sure if that's even an issue. Can not seem to find any reference to this problem on the SuSE support site. Hopefully someone has run into this and can shed some light.
Thanks!

Wasn't there something on this list earlier about someone having trouble installing from a LG dual drive? He thought it was due to scratched cds, but as it turned out, everything seem to be pointing to this LG DVD/CDRW combo drive? As Anders pointed too, if it's a DVD drive, then why are you using the CDs? Have you tried the DVD disc yet? You might want to check with LG to see if there is a bios update for that drive as well.
