SuSe 10.1 install hangs - outlando - 2006-06-08
I've tried three times now and each time it successfully formats my 1.4Gb swap, and then starts to format my 8.3Gb /root - at this point the progress bar jumps straight to 100% immediately. The timer still runs and the mouse-pointer still moves, for a few minutes. Then it totally freezes and I have to pull the plug on the whole thing and restart the machine.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this??
I'm installing SuSe 10.1 on a Sony A617B laptop, on the D:\ partition.
Pentium M 1.73ghz
1024 Gb RAM

are you absolutely sure it hangs ? does the cpslock LED do anything if you press CAPSLOCK
how long have you waited to see if it's hung ?
have you tried reading the RELEASE notes ?
cheers

Quote:have you tried reading the RELEASE notes ?Ha! Nope. Just downloading the Suse linux reference guide pdf from Novell now.
Perhaps I shouldn't be bothering you just yet, eh? :/

I have the same notebook.
It's possible to install 'Fedore Core 5' on it but only with the rsolution 800x600.
