    Hi

    We have three Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy Econel 10 servers running SuSE 8.2.

    I have tried to upgrade two of them to SuSE 9.1 to get the new improved Yast2
    mail server configuration tool. But both computers freezes right after the
    CDROM boot menu - when I choose install the screen goes black and nothing
    happens even the Num-Lock button is dead....

    I have tried "Installation", "Installation - without ACPI" and Installation -
    Safe-setting" and tried different video resolutions 1024x768, 800x600 and
    textmode (it defaults to 1024x768).

    Nothing helps....

    According to SuSE's the computer was certified for SuSE Linux 7.2 and had the
    following configuration:

    Motherboard FSC Systembaugruppe D1239 Chipset: VIA VT8633 [Apollo Pro266]
    BIOS Phoenix BIOS v.4.06 Rev. 1.02.1239
    CPU 1x Pentium III 933MHz / 256k Cache
    RAM 1x 128MB SDRAM
    Graphics ATI Technologies Inc. Rage XL AGP, 8MB Video SDRAM
    Ethernet 1x Intel EtherExpress Pro100
    SCSI 1x LSI Logic (Symbios) SYM53C895A
    HDDs 1x Seagate ST320413A EIDE/UDMA100, 20GB
    SOUND (onboard) VIA AC97 Audio Controller (rev 10)
    Floppy 1x 3,5" Standard
    Tqape drive 1x HP C1537A DDS-3 SCSI DAT drive
    CD-ROM LTN483L, ATAPI 48x, 120kB Cache
    PowerSupply 1x ASTEC AA21850, 145 W

    Our servers don't have the Tape drive and I don't think they have the SCSI
    controller either even though they make a mysterias "Adapter Scan ..." at
    boot. There is nothing about a SCSI controller in the motherboard manual, so
    I guess certified configuration had the controller in a PCI slot....

    Have anyone seen similar problems??
