Hi, I asked about how to do this a few weeks ago.
I got sent a useful HOWTO cheers. But I've run into a bit of trouble that makes little sense. I've several machines all 'white boxes' all kinds of motherboards etc. some of them are Intel P4 based and others AMD Athlon. If I go through the motions of getting it to install it's fine, once YaST has finished doing its' thing and reboots if it's an Intel based machine then fine it reboots and everything is fine. However if it's an AMD machine then it won't restart, doesn't give an error just hangs. No GRUB error or anything. I've been told that sometimes it doesn't quite install grub correctly so before I click reboot in YaST I ssh in again using another terminal create a mountpoint /x and mount the disks. I then manually install grub using: chroot /x grub root (hd0,1) setup (hd0,1) Which reports that grub is installed. However it makes no sense, I've tried blanking the MBR record and then installing GRUB but it makes no difference the machines always just die after POST. I've killed 4 machines now and have a 600 Mile round trip to go n fix them. I suppose it's just as well that this is not a commercial platform!! Can anyone explain what the deal is with this, If I install SUSE using a CD it always works so why is this any different and why would it matter that it's AMD? Confused.
