Re: SUSE Linux 10.1 64 Bit Run Problems

I have gone your route with Suse and became frustrated and went with CentOS
4.4 instead - glad I did.

I installed SUSE Linux 10.1 (64 Bit) on my system (see below) and it
installs fine (as far as I can tell) but when the system reboots for the
first time after completing the installation, (it reboots like it should
do for the machine to complete the install) and after I select SUSE Linux
via grub boot loader the system freezes monitor stays black, but on and no
computer access to the hard drive nor to the dvd drive. If I try to press
caps lock or number lock, the lights stay they way they were (if they were
on, they stay on)

I am really confused as to why I cannot get the system to get past that
point. If I try to load failsafe mode, it goes through the screen where
you can see devices being probed, etc but then it gets to a point where I
get the dollar sign prompt, where I cannot do anything. I tried to type
in at the $"dmesg" but it says command not found...


I am not a total newbie, I have been able to install other versions of
linux on systems, just not this one with SUSE 10.1 64 bit edition.
