Hi, I wanted to try my hands on the SUSE 10.2 as my friends reported it quite stable. I downloaded the latest x64 version of the SUSE and it does not load yast. The system crashes after showing loading yast.
My system Hardware is Processor : Core2Duo(4400) MotherBoard : Intel 965 Memory : 1GB.
Is there any particular problem with Installing Open SUSE on this hardware?
I checked MD5Sum after downloading and it seems to match with the one given in the site.
With Regards,
Hi Arun,
The 10.2 is quite stable, your friends are right.
There is one bug for Core2Duo and Intel 965, but it seems to be unrelated: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268120
Besides graphic card as Masaru mentioned it can be inappropriate graphic resolution for the monitor. Symptoms are usually the same as when graphic card has a problem, black screen and monitor power on signal (here green light) goes out, start blinking, or change color (here orange). This means there is no usable signal for monitor.
I sent one mail before this on that. It uses x3000 Graphics chipset, built in with the mother borad.
Have you tried to lower graphic resolution or text mode installation? If not try to select lower video mode or Text on initial boot screen.
I have tried text based installation too. The problem is it shows, loading Installation system .. 100% Starting hald ... Starting Yast And it crashes. I had used the same media to install in my cousins system and it was fine there.
In the text mode navigation is using TAB and cursor keys, or Alt and highlated letter in the word. For instance if you want to go Next, letter N is yellow and Alt-n would be the same as highlight whole word and press enter. Although I'm not good typer this works better than mouse. If this doesn't work than use TAB to switch to that window and then it will work.
BTW, if all attempts to fix installation fail you can use 32 bit version, it will complain about installing it on 64 bit computer, but it will install it and work.
I tried the 32 bit version too. It also has the same problem.
