I'm trying to install suse 11.0 on my desktop. I'm using a live cd and I get to the point right after it formats and after it installs the files but then pops up with an error and asks if you want to automatically debug it. I click yes it runs through a couple tests and fails the binary one. It then pops into a command screen and says login in but before I can do anything it pops back to the live cd and pops up with a message that says to reboot and take out the live cd. I do this and I get stuck with a GRUB loading error 15. Not sure what to do from here. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

You did not give us much to go on do you
You did not give us the error message neither do we know what kind of
desktop you use.
Have you perform a media check ?
Did you try to install it in the verbose mode so it come with the messages .

Sorry about that I'm pretty new at all of this. My desktop has the following:
225.8 GB HD
nVidia GeForce FX 5700LE Video Card
1.5gb DDR RAM
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ 1.531.02 MHz Chip

I did run a media check heres what it says
GENISOIMAGE iSO 9660/NFS FILESYSYTEM CREATOR (C) 1993 ....
app:CD1
media:659670 kb
pad:0kb
Check:100%
check: md5sum ok
md5: 83b1a04f18d6782cfe0407edadac377f
"press any key to reboot"
I do and it says
checkmedia
rebootException: error consoles at alt-f3/f4
rebootException: reboot in 120 sec...
I push F4 and it reboots
I tryed both my CD ROM drives and downloaded a new iso and got the same error. The error that I get is when it is copying files to installed system. The message says "An error accured while switching to the installed system and no recovery is posssible.
Run the automatic debugger to find out why it has failed?" I push yes comes up with a box that says checking the installed system
"Sysyem Checking"
checking for /usr/bin/chroot binary...Passed
checking for chroot directory/mnt...Passed
checking for binary/mnt/bin/ls...Failed
I push OK
"setting up linker cash"
"Saving bootloader configuration" Pops up with another error
"An error occurred during initrd creation"
I push OK
Pops up with a message that says "Reboot the computer without the Live CD in the drive to continue the installation"
I do this and get this error
"GRUB loading error 15"

When I try it in text mode (Hold SHIFT) it goes through and ends up in the live CD and does the same thing.

I tried throwing in a windows disc to see if I could wipe out the HD from there but in pops up a blue screen.

Anything else I can try?

Thanks

Well I am not sure why but my md5 is 3994825ae4623a92e3ab423f78505eb
To get in the verbose mode the key you have to press is the Esc , and you have to press it several times until it get in the verbose mode.
A other thing is it is a Live CD so it must give without install a working system
You stated if you throw a windows disk in the drive that it only come up with a blue screen and nothing else ?

Because his md5sum is the kde4 live cd

I can't see yours.

I figured it out. So I had my hard drive plugged into a IDE raid port instead of a regular IDE port. I switched it and installation went smooth. Kinda weird though I was able to install kunbuntu no problem with the hard drive in the raid port.

Thanks for your help

Hi, I´ve got the same error in my gateway t-1616.. I was workning on mandriva 2008.. It says that the cd/dvd device is not being recognized. After that, I don´t figure out a way for coming up the live cd or the installation media.

Help will be appreciated.
