OpenSuse 11.2 Installation Problem

Hi!

I would be really grateful for any suggestions / ideas. I am an experienced Linux admin and have been using SuSE for many years. My development machine has had every version of SuSE since '02 and although it is a little old, is in good working order. (AMD
2400, 2 gig RAM, 160 Gig IDE disks - SuSE on disk 2)

(OpenSuSE 11.1 with the latest kernel works perfectly. This install is on a spare HDD prior to doing a full install on my usual HDD.)

When I try to install SuSE 11.2 from DVD, the load kernel operation hangs at 97% (using both normal and safe kernel), however, I can install from live CD without any problem.

I have tried the same DVD on a few “older” machines and had the same problem. I initially thought it was the actual DVD but re-burning has the same problem. I have also tried another DVD writer - same problem.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Darren

did you md5sum check the iso and/or do this http://tinyurl.com/yajm2aq
prior to install?

anyway, if you use the DVD, CD or net install the final outcome should
be the same…
