I am a pretty new Linux administrator, and after repeated tries have not been able to install Suse 10.2 on my fairly old (~4 years old) IBM eServer.
When I install Windows, any version, there's no problem -- mouse, keyboard, CD, connection to Internet -- everything works fine. I once successfully installed Caldera Linux.
But when I boot to the Suse Install CD 1, the menu shows up but the keyboard and mouse don't work.
SO, I tried booting to the non-graphical install on the same CD. And I've tried every option -- linux, noacpi, nolapic, failsafe, memtest.
Each time, it displays "Loading linux .."
Just those two dots and then -- nothing happens.
I've looked but have not found a lot of information on troubleshooting a Suse installation, aside from the suggestion to try the non-graphical installation.
Is there some way to install Suse Linux from Windows?
Or, other suggestions?
TIA,
Emily
