Hi, I've got a rather old notebook with a p3/600, 192 MB RAM, SiliconMotion Lynx3DM (real) graphics chip with a whopping 8MB video-RAM It ran all SuSEs up until 10.0 but I was put off to install 10.1 because of it's initial annoyances. It does "run" Ubuntu up to 6.10 without tinkering. Now I tried openSUSE 10.2 and faild a few times. I switch to German and 1024x768. After a bit of loading stuff the installer complains that there wasn't enough RAM for graphics mode and I should activate SWAP. Actually there are allready 2 SWAP partitions. One with 128MB and one with 200. So I chose one and click continue. The screen gets rather dark with a spirally pattern. Then some text lines appear. The last one is "found text linux console ..." Shortly after the screen gets completely black and the HDD and DVD stop a few seconds later. This is it. I tried "Install without acpi" and even "Inst. safe-mode" without getting further.
