Hi experts,
I am trying to install suse10 sp4 on a hp workstation xw6200.
I burned the suse 10 sp4 disk, checked the md5sum for the download and they are correct.
Now when I tried to install it the first time, everything went well , I got past the configurations and everything, and eventually to this point:

That's when it crashed and I had to reboot the system.
I figured no big deal. I would just reinstall. But now when I try to use the installation cd it either tells me to "make sure I got cd 1 in the drive", or from the rescue option telling me "nothing in cd rom is detected" (or something like that --> which is very funny cause the rescue option is launched from teh install cd). booting directly from the hard drive gives an invalid partition table error message.
Which I figured, ok, so if the HD is giving me problems, probably something went wrong during the original install, I will use my ubuntu live cd, format the whole thing, and problem solved! but it didn't. I am still getting the same errors as before.
and even better, I even tried to install ubuntu on this machine and it went through! Well, the graphics is still all messed up, but I think that's because I lack the proper graphics driver. But I can get the console and root previlage and everything.
So, how confused are you guys now?
Thanks
Davy
