hopefully helpful]
you constantly MISS the point that HP and MS work together to make
sure Vista runs as good as possible on HP hardware…
NO SUCH effort is underway to make sure SUSE (or any Linux) will run
at all!! in fact, MS hopes it absolutely will NOT…all of that is to
say that YES, there could easily be something in Linux which will NOT
work with your machine exactly as it does with anything from Redmond…
in fact, if you google on this string:
linux HP Pavillion DV9000
you will find lots and lots of problems!!
so, you constantly saying you know the answer to your problem can’t
be battery, can’t be heat, can’t be whatever you are told to TRY
because it runs Vista okay just frustrates and irritates the folks
trying to help you–so STOP it, or just go off and run Vista and
behappy* with it! (or, next time buy hardware make sure it is KNOWN
to run the flavor and version of Linux you wanna run!)
do not argue with potential helpers, please…especially not by
telling us over and over that Vista works great! we KNOW that it works
SO great that you are looking for something better!!
okay?
now, tell us you have followed ALL the things outlined in the twelve
post thread beginning at http://tinyurl.com/6jwtg9
pay close attention to the absolute need to make sure you have perfect
install media…that is steps 2, 3 and 6 MUST show you have perfect
media…otherwise anything might happen, including exactly what you
are experiencing…
then, tell us you have read and considered all the experiences of all
the folks who have tried loading openSUSE onto an HP Pavillion DV9000
series desktop…especially look for folks with EXACTLY your model,
loading exactly version 11.1:
see: http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Laptops/HP#dv_9XXX_xx
then, you might wanna use google to search on YOUR specific model
(what is it?) and “openSUSE 11.1” and see if you find happiness that way…
then, when you have done all of that and read this
http://tinyurl.com/anel and come back and we begin again…
welcome to the frustration caused when one software maker has the
clout to force manufactures to work with them…
