Check your BIOS for Plug N Pray settings it must say PNP OS NO.
Do a clean install and make /home separate partition.

ditto.. using JFS here and love it... If you are using Reiserfs on 9.1 backup religeously... IT's Suse's default install for 9.1, but there seems to be some little nasty (bug) in it. I decided to just eat one of my installs. And when something bites me I usually look for a happier solution. <Grin>
Does anyone know yet what is the disonence between Suse9.1 and Reiserfs? I figure some sort of fix will show up before long. 9.1 can be installed on most hardware ( tho my kids Cow box refuses to boot from a bootable cd) er, "cow box" refers to Gateway computer co. For some reason they put cow spots on things, like the shipping packaging. Unexplainable.. they refuse any information because she doesn't have the origional w2k on the box..
Apparenly when you buy something from them you are never spupsosed to upgrade.. wierd.( she has xp on it, but doesn't want to connect to the internet... as she has had a lot of fun w/ all those virii.. well fun if you like torture!!.) We managed to get a 9.1 on it w/ lots of problems <sigh> Everything doesn't work yet. I made boot floppies and modules disks from Suse's dvd... and hope that some combination will let her install 9.1 pro ( I gave her the cd's ) ;) I have a hunch it's either some weird proprietary setup or it could be just old hardware.
oh yeah, boot from cd is first in her bios ... but something is stopping that from happening.. hence the floppies. shades of 7.2 ;)
