Hi,
I've got a rather old notebook with a p3/600, 192 MB RAM, SiliconMotion
Lynx3DM (real) graphics chip with a whopping 8MB video-RAM
It ran all SuSEs up until 10.0 but I was put off to install 10.1 because
of it's initial annoyances.
It does "run" Ubuntu up to 6.10 without tinkering.
Now I tried openSUSE 10.2 and faild a few times.
I switch to German and 1024x768.
After a bit of loading stuff the installer complains that there wasn't
enough RAM for graphics mode and I should activate SWAP.
Actually there are allready 2 SWAP partitions. One with 128MB and one
with 200.
So I chose one and click continue.
The screen gets rather dark with a spirally pattern. Then some text
lines appear.
The last one is "found text linux console ..."
Shortly after the screen gets completely black and the HDD and DVD stop
a few seconds later.
This is it.
I tried "Install without acpi" and even "Inst. safe-mode" without
getting further.
Any proposals please ?
