Yes - always hangs in the same place (31 bit or 64 bit) -- I bypassed by proactively selecting which packages to use at install time and kept the slp server from being installed. Everything came up (31 bit mode) just fine. I will try the 64 bit mode next week.

By chance do you have both sets of .iso files on the same system? It would be interesting to "diff" each pair of CDs. It's possible the first set is corrupted, but I have yet to see a corrupted byte from a completed FTP. If the first set is corrupted that will reinforce that it is worth also downloading the md5sum checksum files and verifying the integrity of the download. > Now I get past the initrd Good. > but when I try to restart Linux, the system hangs trying to start > slpd. Hmm, this is curious too. I've installed SLES9 a number of times and slpd always comes up clean. Does it always hang in the same place. > I will update the list if the bypass of slpd allows me to bring up the > system. Yes, let us know.
