Public bug reported:
Its a PCG-954A
Pentium 3 processor. 695.6 MHz
254 megs of ram
chipset: intel i815
It won't run the live cd or the text/alternate beyond the initial startup menu .
the cd menu comes up, and when either the live or text install cd is used,
when "install" is selected, it says "loading linux kernel" with the little
loader bar, and then it presents a black screen with a little horizontal
blinking cursor or "dash" and that's the end of it.
it never gets any farther than that no matter how long I wait.
I am using the correct x86 install version.
I have installed xp Service pack 2 and which works fine if that helps.
the same exact problem comes up with Zenwalk. Exactly the same way.
this may be a clue if this helps:
when I selected "install a command-line only" option on the alternate cd's
startup menu,
it loaded to the step of "SETTING UP STANDARD PCI RESOURCES" where it froze.
this specific step is where the openSUSE 10.2 install freezes
It was issued with windows ME
