why would you install 6.4 suse is in version 10.0

Actually i have to install 6.4..please help..its urgent

your not giving me alot to go on here, but the only time I've seen an error like that was when the kernel wouldn't load. SuSE 6.4 uses a 2.2 series kernel. This is way outdated and could cause this type of problem. We are now on the 2.6 series of kernels. I don't understand why you have to install such an old distro when you could download SuSE 10 for free. if you dont have a fast internet connection Ubuntu will mail you a free installation cd and pay the shipping. My experience with the 2.2 kernels is very limited but I came accross this guide:

Maybe you can follow it and at least post when this happens and more details.

Dont know if the drives are SATA/IDE - If they are IDE set them explicitly as Master/Slave instead of cable select.

It is difficult to impossible to expect help when you are
installing such an old version of Suse. Why are you doing
this?

Wild guess. You're trying to install a dual boot with Windows, and there is no free space on the disk.

I'd also discourage spending time installing such an old version of SuSE. It's at least 9 or 10 versions from the current v10.0, and therefore has major performance and security disadvantages compared to more modern SuSE versions.

Regardless, you'll need to post a lot more info about your system (CPU, RAM, disk capacity, etc) in order for people to offer advice. Good luck with it
