Installation Of Suse Linux Interprise Server Fails

30stier4 · 02-06-2008, 02:53 PM

I try to install Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9 SP4 under Windows XP. After the welcome screen of SLES I choose the Installation option and the installation begins. After the selection of my language and keyboard settings I choose the 'Start Installation or System' and then 'Start Installation or Update' after. After that I choose 'CD-ROM' as my source. Now the following message appears: 'Cannot find the image.' and the installation fails.

Is it possible that I have to unload or load some scsi or ide drivers?

Thanx

Are you installing it as a virtual machine under XP? If so then you would be better to create an iso of the linux install, on the hard drive and use that for installing from..
If not, then it may be the hardware not being supported...Which is unlikely with such a late distro, but still possible...

I have the solution from another forum:
When installing from SLES SPx, you boot with the SLES SP CD1 but you need the SLES9 core CDs as well. When they ask you to insert CD1, you have insert CD1 of SLES9, not SLES9SPx.
