Can you initiate an installation from either of these sources?
No. Same problem. YaST (I assume the GUI I'm looking at is YaST) hangs
at the same place...
I have been all over Novell's bugzilla and cannot (yet) find anything
that seems remotely related to your problem.
You 'n' me both...
When yast appears to hang, are you still able to switch to a console
with Ctrl-Alt-F2?
No. The machine is 100%, completely, totally and utterly stiffed. As
dead as a very dead thing.
I tried installing it on another machine, in case it was a hardware
problem, but this time I got the error that there wasn't enough memory
to run YaST. It's a very *old* machine... :)
ftproot\suse-10.1\CD1>md5sum SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM-i386-mini.iso
2856068334b8b0f9af7a88ae66d573fc *SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM-i386-mini.iso
This checksum is correct.
Indeed. It's the filename that was wrong.
What file were you using to compare sums? The
correct sums are in
ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/MD5SUMS
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/MD5SUMS
... although that redirects to:
http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/MD5SUMS
The checksum file you suggest is exactly the same. Checking my ISOs
against it gives failures on all five i386 discs, but an OK on the
mini.iso with the correct filename.
BTW: I've also tried booting with textmode=1, which did cause YaST to
revert to text mode, but it still hung in the same place...
Many thanks for all your help and suggestions,
PJ.
