Hi Emily, A quick Google on "Linux IBM eServer xSeries 200" reveals some models were certified by Novell for SLES 8 (circa June 2004): see http://developer.novell.com/yes/75367.htm You should continue this line of research by expanding/revising search terms to include various details like mainboard & chipset to see if others have posted a solution for this problem. I recently tackled a system that the 10.2 installer failed to boot despite trying all parameters and combinations thereof. My Knoppix mini CD also failed. After 'Googling' various combinations of "Linux " + the precise mainboard and chipset model numbers, I discovered many, many threads describing the same problem. I eventually uncovered one where the OP, after a very long trial and error session, successfully booted it with a "Frenzy BSD 1.0" live CD. I downloaded the CD image, burned a copy, tried booting with it and the system quickly launched to a working desktop. The story stops here because I haven't yet figured out how to get 10.2 installed. It seems to be possible, theoretically, but it needs more research and troubleshooting. Good luck!
