Comments/Problems:
The partioning is the result of some Partitionmagic resizing for the pre-installed Windows XP and after that a SuSE 9 installation. Cfdisk
cannot read the disk (Bad primary partition 3: Partition ends after end-of-disk) but fdisk can.
The installer shows the disk as having no partitions at all, instead
of giving an error message that it doesn't understand the disk.
There is a Broadcom Tg3 in this machine. It works with Windows XP, and used to work with suse using the bcm5700 driver from broadcom. The tg3 driver fails in the common way (it says it is handling it, but the led on the back of the machine is mostly of except for a slight blink every second or so). No network installation possible.
