Hey guys,
I installed Suse 10 last Wednesday and fiddled around with it a bit. On my first installation I mistakenly didn't set up a swap partition. I made some changes here and there to my xorg.conf to try and get my mouse working and ended up slowing Suse way down. Not exactly sure what I did there. I decided to go ahead and reinstall, this time setting up a swap partition. All went fine.

Reinstalled everything last night and was back to changing the look of kde today. I updated and all that good stuff after installation.

I turned on some of the ACPI settings so I could suspend to disk. After restarting, I can't get past runlevel 5 now.

At this moment I'm going back through and trying to repair the installation using the DVD with Installation-ACPI disabled. Now I'm getting an error saying it cannot mount my other partitions (Windows XP & Extended NTFS).

I didn't get this error on my initial setup. Should I try reinstalling again?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm learning as fast as I can but I don't know the ins & outs yet so keep that in mind. Thank You!

Edit: Still can't get past runlevel 5. I'm getting the message that the wlan and service network failed. I'm guessing it's cause I'm not in range of a network right now, i'm at work and not at home where I did the initial install. It says:

Failed services network
Skipped services smbfs nfs

Thx.

Ok, I'm back in to runlevel 6. After changing my display settings in sax2. when I do "df" in terminal I don't see my swap partition, I just see "tmpfs", I had a 2gb swap part. Should I see it there? I'm still having issues that I didn't have last week with the first install, ie. the sound will not recognize when I turn it down or mute it. I still get sound, no matter what.

Atleast I'm in runlevel 6 now, but I'm a little gunshy right now. Still wondering if I shouldn't just reinstall.....

I guess you are at runlevel 5 (multiuser-mode with X). Runlevel 6 would be reboot.

df does not show anything regarding swap. Run the "free" command and it will show you details about your systems memory and swap.
