After three weeks of trying, I finally got SuSE "successfully" installed.** Unfortunately, when I boot, INIT kills my machine requiring a hard-wired reset. Here is basically what happens (can't get the exact error message since Linux for me right now is very dead!) INIT: Id 0 spawning too fast! disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id 1 spawning too fast! disabled for 5 minutes [etc. through Id 6] Well, that sucks. I wait five minutes by the way, and I get the same error message. The machine is completely locked up in the interim (still in single user mode). PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!!!!! I have many many config, data, etc files that I do not wish to reintegrate which I will have to do if I reinstall. Hardware is: AMD K6-2 300Mhz @100Mhz bus 96MB RAM (PC-100) ATI Rage Pro AGP w/8MB AdvanSys Ultra SCSI SCSI hard drives (2x) with Linux on the second hard drive in logical/extended partitions Zip SCSI PD/CD-ROM SCSI optical disk (note: no ide devices/ide disabled in BIOS) AWE32 PnP sound (probably irrelevant since I've tried new and old kernals with no sound support compiled in) USB scanner (again, probably irrelevant since no USB support). **Note in history: SuSE repeateadly failed in its install fatally beause it couldn't replace C News. Though Yast failed, it nonetheless tried to "commit" the installation creating huge problems (e.g., system wouldn't boot since many files missing/wrong version, etc.). This led to a couple of system lockups and hard resets, after which e2kfs found many hard drive errors. Somehow, after all that, SuSE finally managed to install itself when I selected "replace everything". - To get out of this list, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
