openSuSE 10.0 doesn't detect CDROM on install
Hi guys,
I tried to install openSuSE, however after it installs the first CD it reboots and goes back into the install afterwards...
The trouble is, when I get back to start installing packages from the second disk, it won't detect the cd drive.
Thats what the error message says in essence when clicking details (sorry can't remeber exactly), but it says "cannot find /dev/hdd".
I tried going ctrl-alt-f2 and mounting the cd drive myself but the hdd file isn't even there.
Then I tried a usb dvd drive and using lsusb I found it would detect the drive, but only for like about a second... not enough time to mount it or anything..
I started installing it twice and both times it happened.
However I managed to chroot from a rescue boot and run yast to install the gnome packages so I didn't have to use tvwm or whatever.
Now I like it and want to switch to it (it's on a second hard drive) however I want to have a proper install.
Anyway, hope you can help...
Cheers..
