The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Suse 10 Installation Problems

Asked by apobull in Linux Setup

Tags: installation, eax300, linux, suse

While trying to install the 64-bit version of Suse 10 (burned from the DVD
iso), my screen goes blank/black (with cursor appearing in upper left corner at times) immediately after the kernel loads during the boot process. I tried doing the install with ACPI  disabled and then the safe mode install and got the same result.   The DVD works fine on an HP AMD Athlon 64 X2 desktop that I have.

I tried the 32-bit DVD and got to the installation setup only when I chose
the safe mode / text install.  However, shortly after the installation
began, the system locked up.  I tried again and got the same result.  More
interesting, is that during the hardware scan of the setup, everything was
recognized (including the video card); however, that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

For the sake of trying another distro, I tried Fedora Core 4 only to have it
just totally bomb out with call trace errors and such.

I've never encountered this many problems before with a Linux install so not
sure where exactly the problem would lie other than likely with the
hardware.

Other than the video card, I have no other cards installed at the moment

The hardware configuration for the system in question is

Mobo - Asus A8R-MVP
Chipset - ATI Express 200 Crossfire
Graphics - Asus EAX300 PCIe card (Essentially Asus branded ATI card)
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Memory - 1 GB Kingston (2X512)
HDD - 1 Seagate 250 GB IDE and 3 WD 320 GB SATAII 16 MB cache

If any further specs are needed, I will post them.

Since my plan was to install a hardware RAID card, my choice of distributions is somewhat limited to the mainstream ones (Redhat, Fedora, Suse, etc) since most of the cards only provide drivers for those distros.  I've considered software raid cards / OS raid support but I really don't want my system getting taxed doing all the parity calculations relative to RAID 5.

Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated.
