It may just be that the drivers for the mother board were not loaded from the motherboard CD properly. First try running this once again. They are usually automatic but can just miss one part of the load. -------Original Message------- From: Norm Higgs Date: 09/12/2006 08:59:50 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] I am trying to install SUSE LINUX 10.1 from DVD
Also, don't rule out a bad CPU if its a new build. On my last build it ran memtest86 flawlessly, entered BIOS without a hitch, but would not boot a Knoppix CD, would not install Windows XP, and would not even boot up the Western Digital Diagnostic CD. When I swapped out the CPU, everything worked fine.
