by Hello,
I am trying to get SuSE Linux 7.0 running on my ThinkPad 390E where
previously has been SuSE Linux 6,4 running without any problems.
The installations hangs while "Loading data into ramdisk" which comes
straight after the "Choose the source media", I am installing from CD.
Computer stops responding or doing anything.
The problem is actually described as "to be yet solved" on page 32 of SuSE
handbook that come with the installation.
Quote:
"For reasons which have yet to be clarified, problems can occur when loading
data to the RAM disk, and YaST then cannot be loaded. In such cases the
following remedy usually leads to a positive result:
In the linuxrc main menu select Settings -> Debug ( Expert ), there you
should set 'Force root image' to no. Return to the main menu and start the
installation again."
I have tried that but it didnt help. Neither I could find any news in the
SuSE support knowledge base.
Any hints?
Thank you very much
Pav
