I'm having an install problem with Suse 10. The first CD goes fine, then the system reboots and halts with the following...
GRUB Loading stage1.5
This is on a brand new PC purchased this month from Monarch Computer Systems. They are now offering to pre-install Suse 10 but were not when I ordered the system 3 weeks ago. I ran into that same situation when I loaded 10.0. All I had to do was TURN THE PC OFF for a minute, then restart it and it continued past

Thanks Paul. Tried powering off and back on but no help. Still comes up with "GRUB Loading stage1.5.". Just to see if the hard drive is accessable I tried to load it with FreeDOS, which is usually easy and quick to do. Although I can access the hard drive I still can't boot to it. Here's what happened... - Booted to FreeDOS floppy - FDisk worked fine removing the linux partitions and creating the DOS partitions. - formatted using FORMAT - copied files to the harddrive - tried to boot but failed with same message "GRUB Loading stage1.5." - if I boot to the floopy i can access the harddrive fine (C:), all the files I copied are there, just can't boot. Any ideas? Matt
