I don't think that was my problem. I upped the virtual size from 256MB to 300MBs and I'm currently installing software from CD2. If this turns out to be the solution, then I guess in my particular setup, 256MBs just don't cut it.
Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/06/04 12:49PM >>> I had problems with the SLES9 hanging during the install too. I believe that I had a bad CD image that I downloaded. Try downloading the image again and verify downloaded ISO images using MD5SUM. To check the MD5SUM of the filename.iso you would type the following in a terminal: "md5sum filename.iso" sans quotes. I believe novell gives you the following: Filename MD5 Checksum Value Approx. File Size SLES-9-s390x-RC5-CD2.iso 04e7b9d8629e1d973230be67b22dc9b7 576.8 MB (64 bit) SLES-9-s390-RC5-CD2.iso b7f95b81510dfd527579b184baee5d30 516.6 MB (31 bit) Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Duerbusch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 9:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SLES9 Install hang I went back thru the archives a couple months, and didn't see any discussion of this one... I'm trying to install the current SLES9 evaluation CDs. Once we get our support keys, I assume that this evaluation distribution can be upgraded, via YOU, to a current, production distribution. Well....we hang... The first hang, I was able to get around. When you are first asked to select/activate/format dasd, just select and activate them. If you format them, you will hang when doing the "package selection". Wait for the "partitioner" step, and format them there. But the second hang, I can't seem to get around... After CD1 has been loaded, it asks for CD2. I insert CD2 and click OK. Nothing. I can use Windows explorer to see that CD2 looks like a normal Suse CD (as least looks like all the others). I have 256 MBs virtual defined, using SMB for the install, with an IUCV network connection. I've tried the "abort installation" button, but it presses, and nothing happens. Are there any known problems with the evaluation CDs that would make them, rather unusable?
