Problem synopsis:
I can't install OpenSuse 10.2 in a Compaq Presario desktop. After
"Installation" selected, it does nothing but goes back to boot up
again.
Problem description:
The OpenSuse 10.2 (disk-1) boots up from the CD ROM, the installation
selection menu also appeared and after selecting the "Installation",
the screen gets dark and it goes back to bootup again and the
installation menu reappears.
System information:
PC Type: Compaq Presario x86 desktop PC
CPU: Celeron CPU 2.66 GHz
RAM: 512 MB
Original OS installed: Windows XP
HDD: 80 GB
Configuration information:
1) The original HDD had two partitions, C and D
2) Partition C was 75 GB in size in NTFS format and XP was installed
3) Partition D is 5 GB in size in FAT format and Compaq's recovery
disk is installed
4) I did C re-partitioned by "Magic Partition", 35 GB for XP in NTFS
and 35 GB for SuSE 10.2 in EXT3 format
Observation:
1) After removing the disk-1 from the CD-ROM, the XP starts without
any problem

resolution set at 1024 x 768
