Subject: [SLE] SuperMicro H8DA8/H8DAR motherboard

Has anyone had success loading SUSE Linux on a
SuperMicro H8DA8/H8DAR AMD dual processor 2.4 GHZ?
It has an ATI Rage 8-MB XL Graphics Chip
Adaptec RAID V4.30 AIC7902 Ultra 320 Wide
The machine sounds like a jet engine and is hard on my ears
as it is designed for rack mounting (1U) pizza box design, in
a relay rack cabinet.

It installs normally up to the first reboot where you put in the
root password and user stuff etc.
providing more detail describing how it fails but just
At that point it always fails with no GUI coming up and to many
processes keeping getty from running, so does Ubuntu.

I did once or twice succeed in installing the machine as a bare
bones server with no GUI, text only. I am fishing at this point to
see if anyone has one of these boxes and has failed or succeeded.

I can install SLAX which is a LIVE CD ok.



I installed onto a 3ware raid card using that board, no internal SCSI.

I've got mine in a 3u Super Micro case, and it's relatively quiet.
