Suse 9.1 Personal installation troubles


Hi,
I'm trying to install Suse 9.1 Personal on my notebook (Fujitsu Siemens, P4 2.8 Ghz, 512 ram, 37 GB HD), but I'm having some troubles...
As I try any kind of installation (manual, normal, safe settings), the computer LOCKS and I get the following messages:

______________________________________
RAMDISK: compressed image found at block 0
*
crc error
VFS: cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(8,5)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,5)

If I try to use LiveCD there is also the following line where marked by an asterisk:
RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 !=32768) 65536000
______________________________________

please note that I tried to install the software on:
a raw non partitioned HD,
a 2 partitions drive, both with fat32 file system,
a NTFS partiotion with XP on it and another non formatted.

I really thank you for your help,
(I don't want to come back to XP!!!! )
Sirio
