Trouble installing OpenSuse on Amilo Xa2528

hi there,

I am having a very hard time installing opensuse on my system. I have tried booting the original DVD but that gives me the problem that my dvd drive doesn’t get recognized when it needs to read out files. So i figured I would attempt a Network installation, but my bios refuses to boot the network-install CD. I am starting to get rather frustrated… Are these issues well known? and if so would someone be kind enough to help me out.

thanks in advance,
kevin

This hardware appears to be exceptionally difficult for installing GNU/Linux. The Amilo forum has a long thread on this hardware: amilo-forum.com • Topic - Installing linux on FSC Amilo Xa 2528/24p
