Hi there, I run into problems on trying to install SuSE 10.0 - both Vendor DVD or CD1 as well as SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-GM-CD1.iso. Hardware: Asus P5AD2 Premium, Pentium 4 3.2 GHz SATA: 3 discs, DVD Plextor PX-712A IDE: DVD Plextor PX-716A SCSI: Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter, DAT+Exabyte tape USB: some hubs, HP 970cxi Printer, ext. HP DAT-72 tape, all switched off additional sound card + TV card No difference if I try a regular install, failsafe, or ACPI disabled, the minikernel is loaded and starts to boot up to "searching for info file". The last kernel message is... Assertion failed! qc->flags & ATA_QCLFAG_ACTIVE, drivers/scsi/libata-core.c,ata_qc_complete,line=3218 Obviously the scsi driver is unhappy... A screenshot (digital camera) of the kernel messages is at ... http://www.huber-und-boehm.de/suse10/assertion.png ... and the output of hwinfo and boot.msg (generated by SuSE-9.3) are at ... http://www.huber.und-boehm.de/suse10/boot.msg and hwinfo.log Any clue? Thanks for your help, oh Gurus of the world...
