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.

Comment 1 Andreas Jaeger 2007-08-03 11:26:05 UTC

Stefan, any ideas?

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

Comment 2 Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2007-09-11 11:01:46 UTC

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

Comment 3 Steffen Winterfeldt 2007-09-11 11:46:01 UTC

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