Head here for all OpenSUSE installation queries. They have neatly organised all possible installation methods with step-by-step guides for those methods.

BTW, PM any Mod to move this thread to the Open Source section, where you will get more supoort

Moved to the proper section so your thread will receive the attention it deserves.

state your system configuration
state your hard disc partitions
state your experience level(I know its propably clueless newbie)

I think NucleusKore will be the best guy in this forum who can help a newbie switch to OpenSuSE.

Faun · 04-04-2008, 03:39 PM

try seeing the output in other terminals
press
ALT + F(1-6)

And see where the processing stopped

heartripple · 04-04-2008, 03:45 PM

what do u want to say i dont understand

Faun · 04-04-2008, 03:56 PM

press
ALT + F1 key after u see the blank screen

and try from F1 to F6 to see if any of the virtual terminal logs the processing.

ALT + F1 brings up virtual terminal 1.

aditya.shevade · 04-04-2008, 05:45 PM

if you are saying that the nothing is displyed on the screen after you go to installation then select the correct resolution at boot before you start with instllation.

In the boot screen, there is option to change screen resolution, F3 I think.

I had the same problem and it was solved by changing the resolution.

heartripple · 04-04-2008, 08:29 PM

i am using 1024 x 768 resolution with my onboard grafics nvidia geforce 6100 nforce 430

you may have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf if driver are not bundled

now i am trying your trick so will here after some time stay tuned

NucleusKore · 04-04-2008, 08:45 PM

I have the same board. You do not have to edit anything
You have to go to other options at boot, then add the extra words
noapic

then press enter

heartripple · 04-04-2008, 09:10 PM

i have seen that there are so many commands from f1 to f6 and on f6 i saw no video driver what's that

nothing is seems to working for me i tried every functions key after blank screen but its not working and i also tried with noapic but it also displays the blank screen

Faun · 04-04-2008, 09:26 PM
