Actually, installing from the 1st CD1, reboot and then countinuing installation (with setting root's password) is how it should behave. Could you, please, try to provide more information about the kernel panic, /var/log/messages for instance? Any other error message? Thanks Nothing in /var/log/messages. However, I did finally get Beta 4 to install. Here's what I did: 1. Unplug the USB hard drive from the computer. 2. Re-attempt installation. 3. This time, do not set up any mount points for any drives other than /. This seemed to work, and installation completed almost normally. However, Beta 4 installation died (i.e., didn't lock up, but all boxes greyed out -- no other option than to reboot) when attempting to set up X (I have two video cards -- one on-board AGP i845, and one NVidia GeForce FX5200). By copying my xorg.conf from Ubuntu to SuSE, the system seems to function properly. Still have a minor problem in that SuSE can't seem to restart or shut down my computer completely -- I have to manually hit the reset button. However, I digress -- these seem to be separate problems, and I will report them later (or search to see if they already exist in bugzilla). I'm not sure if step 1 or step 3 above fixed the problem. |
