Hi all,
Recently got a new 'multimedia' PC - 3.6 Ghz Pentium 4 (hyperthreaded), 512 Mb RAM, 230-ish Gb SATA disk, wireless USB keyboard and mouse, DVD-RW and DVD ROM, bluetooth, 2 x ethernet, Firewire, wireless, TV/radio, Nvidia Geforce. and thought this would be a great Linux box (if I could get it working) and that's where my troubles began!
I've used SUSE for some years and want to stay with that if I can. First I tried 9.1 Personal (magazine DVD) and no-way would it recognise the keyboard and mouse. After googling about I found the best option was to replace them with the corded variety and set up the wireless ones later. But I also read lots and lots of tales of many problems with 9.1 so decided to go back to 9.0 Professional, the official SUSE distribution I've used on other machines since it was released.
Now YAST won't recognise the disk at all so the install is a no go.
Perhaps related to this http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3352 ????
Richard, Thanks for the pointer - looks interesting although my problem is trying to get the installation to recognise the disk. I'll take a closer look once I've got my 9.2 set. Cheers, Colin
