Hi,
I have bougth SUSE Linux 10.1. When I try to install SUSE 10.1 it is not getting any further than the point to choose a (installation) language (the requester does not popup) The probing of the mouse works and the clock is spinning for about 45 seconds then the system freezes. Only a hard reset wil bring it back to live.
I have two IDE harddrive's and two SATA harddrive's in the system (a K7N2 motherboard from MSI with a NVIDIA nForce 2 chipset) If i disconnect the SATA drives SUSE 10.1 installs without any problems. When I later connect the cables again SUSE 10.1 again freezes during the boot proces.
I have reinstalled SUSE 9.3 (bougth version) SUSE 9.3 does not have this problem.
somebody suggestions?

Giel, There are a number of things that you might look at here. First of all, 10.1 is a bit more hardware savy than 9.3 was, so it may be looking at things 9.3 doesn't. Secondly, have you checked for a new BIOS file from MSI? That might fix some things as well. I'm running the nForce2 as well, but with a little less hard drives than you without problems under 10.1. I remember early on there were problems with Seagate SATA drives over 160GB, could that be affecting you? Have you tried disconnecting just one, rather than both? Are you trying to run RAID? Have you tried booting with ACPI turned off at the loader screen? Lots of things for you to check. You might also want to check the searchable mail archives for the SUSE english list for similar questions. Also, the suse-e mail list you hear many talking about here might have more answers for you, once you narrow down many of the above questions. regards, Lee --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
