Hi there.
I try to install SuSe but can’t get further than trying to install GRUB, then I get the following error:
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640 lower/3072 uppermemory)

Hi,
If this is a new installation, then at the Installation summary click Booting. Click the tab Boot Loader Installation. Put a check only next to Boot from Master Boot Record.
For some reason, grub from OS11, OS11.1 & SLED11 won’t work on my system and lilo never functioned because it is unsupported for these versions.
I had to downgrade (yet it was an upgrade for me) from these newer versions to OS10.3 with LILO, and it worked (didn’t bother trying to install grub because i was positive that LILO for 10.3 would work flawlessly as it did with SLED10).
Now i am happily exploring OS10.3 (i upgraded from SLED10) and have liked it very much, dual-booting nicely with xp for gaming.
YES!! Installation succeded!!!
Thank you - thank you - thank you…
It worked with Ians solution and Ian, thank you for writing in a language that even a nevbie understand
OF - I didn’t get to try your solution, but thanks to you as well - I’m happy to have joined this forum.
