Default SuSE help
Hey guys, I need some help trying to install SuSE 10.2 on my system.

Ubuntu-Alternate CD installs fine, but trying SuSE, it freezes during the installer-start up process.

I tried installing it on another computer, then putting the HD in my computer, but now I get an operating no found error

Did it install ok on the other computer? Maybe your download your burned has errors or something. You could try re-downloading and re-burning it...

I'd try what blake said and make sure that hard disk with suse on it is set to boot, but I doubt it will if that other comp has different setup. Make sure its the latest version as well.

What version are you using x64 or x32? I have had issues with the x64 version doing weird things. The 32bit version works just fine for me. Blake might have a point too, it could be bad media.

You're getting the no OS error because you system isn't looking for the right drive to boot off of.

I tried installing SuSE 10.2 x32 on my Opteron system, but it froze before hitting the installer.

So I took my hard drive, and brought it over to my duron rig, it fired up, and installed + ran fine.

Putting the hard drive back in my rig, and disconnecting all other drives resulted in an OS not found error.

Then later, I tried the hard drive in another Athlon XP computer, and SuSE booted up without a hitch.

Ubuntu works.


I think its the other way around. My motherboard doesn't like Linux.

Yeah I know, the replies I got at the SuSE forums seem to be pointing towards an APCI bug in bios.
