Motherboard is newer. I am running an AMD 2100 with a gig of ram.

I let Suse choose it's own partitions on the 30Gb drive.
All hardware is less than 3 years old.

Hey guys,

I just downloaded Suse 10.0 (all 5 disks) and tried to install it. It goes through the preliminary install and reboots fine. However, I get a Grub error when it reboots. I have tried Lilo and all I get are the 01 01 01 01 01 garbage.

Anyone have any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Is this an old motherboard?  How is your disk partitioned?
In what partition did the /boot directory of Suse go?
You may have been hit by the 8GB BIOS limit.

On old hardware you should set aside a separate partition
for /boot.  That partition should be one of the first few
and those few must total less than 8GB.
