Description Mihály Osztatni 2007-07-23 09:37:07 UTC 
There is no way to install OpenSuSE 10.2 on some VIA processor equipped notebook. Every other distros - including SuSE 10.0 -  are O.K.

Stefan, any ideas?

Mihaly, have you tried the other boot options like noacpi?

no, sorry. Maybe Steffen knows something abut it (and he is the syslinux maintainer :-)

Hold down SHIFT during bootloader startup.
Latest 10.3 betas should be fine.
