Installation of suse linux 10.0
Hi there
I would like to install Suse linux 10.0 on my sony vaio laptop (model PCG 992l). Prsently Win professional is running on the laptop and I would like to convert (i do not want to ve dual boot, i would like to install linux without partitioning the hard disk) it into a linux OS. I have got a Suse linux 10.0 dvd and my system hangs when I attempt to install it. I made the system boot thru CD/DVD ROM and tried to install suse, it loads linux kernel, the installation proceeds normally and then hangs after a minute -
i found a coupla thgs that probably might cause the freezing -
1. out of memory killed by process 1966 (sometimes 1971)
and then few thgs come up on the screen such as
Highmem: empty
swap cache: add 0, delete 0, find 0/0, race 0+0
free swap = 0kb
total swap = 0 kb
65152 pages of RAM
0 pages of HIGHMEM
1466 reserved pages
37 pages shared
0 pages swap cached
0 pages dirty
0 pages writeback
17 pages mapped
4552 pages slab
2 pages pagetables
and then the system hangs -
If you figure out something outta this, kindly let me know.
Thanks very much for the help, I really appreciate it
