I'm quite new to the Linux world, and am trying to install SUSE 10.2
on a new machine, with no success. My setup is:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
1GB Memory
320GB SATA2 HDD
Gigabyte 956 MoBo with P965 + ICH8R
GeForce 7600GT 256MB Video
ASUS DVD Burner DRW-1612BL

The HD is partitioned into 2, with an xp partition initially installed.

When I boot from the SUSE DVD, all seems fine, and I get the
installation menu onscreen. When I select the installation option,
however, after a moment, the system returns that it was either unable
to locate the SUSE Installation DVD, or that it was unable to mount
the DVD.

I have tried all of the other installation options, including text
only, however these just simply hang with a black screen.

I am confident that the DVD device is ok, as it runs perfectly under
xp, and also installed Ubuntu last week. I also know that the DVD
media is fine, as the disc works perfectly in my Thinkpad, and starts
the installation.

Some reading around suggests that there may be an issue with the
ICH8R, but I have been unable to find a patch or work around.

Any suggestions?
