I will try installing with hdc=noprobe or ide1=noprobe. Check your hardware by first booting from a Knoppix disk. And if you have installed Suse10 then try vesa driver for X problem as suggested. I will definitely do that. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
