Richard, Thanks for your reply. Why should we spend additional $349 for SLES 9 if SuSE 9.2 shall install and work on 64-bit platform as it advertised? Doesn't it sound kind of MicroSoftish - paying more money for virtually the same functionality? For God sake Linux is Linux no matter who distributes it. We don't need any commercial phone support nether other Novell marketing pitches. Why SuSE 9.1 (before it was sold to Novell) 64-bit version installed on the same machine without a hitch? If it's going to be a new Novell marketing trend to charge separately for the each hardware platform then we'll have to kick SuSE from our eng. dept. for good and switch to other less greedy Linux vendor.
Installed 9.2 on my AMD64 with a brand new Barracuda SATA drive. Went smooth, except for the final installation of the boot manager, that required a bit of manual hacking.
