Hi guys,

I am trying to install Suse 9 on my laptop using ftp mode. However, once I put the following boot option:

linux install=ftp://server/dir

it prompted me that:

Could not find kernel image initrd=initrd

I also tried to start with manual installation and configer the network setting afterwards. But when I selected "ftp" option and tried to give the ftp location, it told me that: no network device found, please load a network module first.

Actually, my laptop has a built-in LAN adapter, which connects to an ethernet port on my wireless base station. It works fine with my RH linux.

Could anybody help? Thanks.

You'll need to load the network module before you can do an ftp load. I'd recommend you use the text install as it should give you a little less grief. Once the text install is loaded you can follow the menus to load (or probe for) your network driver.

I did the same thing. At the prompt type install=ftp://server/dir, (don't type linux install=ftp://server/dir).
