I have a problem with a distribution copy of SUSE 9.3 Professional. I am trying to boot it on a Microstar 694D Pro (MS-6321) motherboard (1.9 BIOS) with dual 933Mhz processors, 256MB memory, appian dual video graphics card (PCI), Linksys 10/100 (PCI), Maxtor 160GB IDE, 56X CDROM.
Drive is set as Primary master, CDROM as Primary slave.
If I boot 8.1 SUSE or 9.0 SUSE no problem everything is fine. If I boot 9.3 it hangs at the welcome screen. Same disks on almost every other system I have PIII, P4, dual and single processors, 8x, 24x, 56x CDROM, etc. etc. it boots fine. Tried another copy of SUSE 9.3 (CD-1 and CD-2) same problem.
Any clues. I also installed 9.0 and tried updating with YAST and got kernel not found.
Apparantly it was the older Appian video card. I was able to do a manual installation and it hung when trying to go beyond vga. I put in a Matrox 450 and problem went away. Assume the jump to 2.6 kernel was at issue from the earlier versions. Anyway on to bigger and more challenging problems with applications.
Thanks for the suggestion, it was one of the ones mentioned in the SUSE installation guide.
