I can't seem to get through the install for Suse 9.1. It is failing with everything from not finding Minix / Minix V2, ext2, fat filesystems on dev ramX to not being able to identify the CD ROM format (all of a sudden) -- it booted from the CD Rom...
(Thanks!)
I recently put 9.1 on a Dell 1150 and it works better than the POS WinXP, especially the wireless stuff. I suggest you give a look at LinuxQuestions.org first. I found some answers there about the Dell video problems. Another thing I did was use a Knoppix cd to boot up and see if everything worked ok. For some reason Knoppix seems to be able to search out and use all the hardware a bit better than the SuSE iso although I prefer SuSE Pro for installation, etc. And I assume you tried the safe install and as a last resort the manual installation.
