Ok, so....i downloaded all 5 cd's from the SuSE webpage...and burned all of them onto 5 separate cd's.... I then booted up my computer with CD#1 in the cd drive, and soon installed everything. I even saw everything individually install while it was installing. (yeah i have a lot of time on my hands ) So anyways, it said everything was perfectly installed and needed to reboot. So i let the computer reboot, and this Blue window came up with the options: (1)SuSE 10.1,
(2)windows 1, (3)windows 2, (4)Safe SuSE 10.1..something like that. So i choose the top option of SuSE 10.1. Well It then went to another blue screen, but this is where the problem is....it just sat there. I must have left the computer running for over and hour, and it still stayed at that blue screen...I don't get it. I even tried the Safe mode, and that didn't even go through... Everything installed perfectly... when i did the checksum thingy, every cd was "ok". Please, someone out there, this is my first time with any sort of Linux..and i just want it to work...

please ask me questions if you have them!

is Windows booting up?
post you machine's specs here. Processor, Mobo, RAM and Graphics Card.
what error message does it throw on booting up in Safe Mode?

[StaticSpaz]

Yes, windows runs perfectly like it did before i installed SuSE, i'm on it right now writing this :P

And when i try to run it in safe mode...it stops at....

udevd - event [1147] : run program : '/sbin/hwup' abnormal exit



and as i watched safe mode boot, some of them had the "abnormal exit" after them..does that matter?


So yeah here's the stuff u asked for hope this helps!!

[devils casper]

hwup detects a hot-plug event and udevd points at a device which SuSe couldn't detect and tried to create a virtual device.
Windows is booting up properly. it means Harddisk, RAM or Mobo are Ok and not causing this problem.
have you got anything plugged in a usb port while starting up?

[StaticSpaz]

nothing is plugged into any USB port on my computer at all when i try to boot up SuSE

[devils casper]

its look like Graphics Card problem.
Highlight SuSe title in GRUB Menu and press 1. press Enter key. does SuSe boot up?

[StaticSpaz]

no, SuSE won't even install when I pressed 1 first, then enter.
As i watched it try to load, i saw the little lizard icon deal with the spinning dots was circling him. But after like 5 secs, it just stopped and froze..Right then i could tell noting was happening because my computer was completely silent. Like it thought it was done loading everything.
So yea, i don't have any USB things plugged in, Windows still boots up perfectly, SuSE installed perfectly....ugh i don't get this.

[devils casper]

no, SuSE won't even install when I pressed 1 first, then enter.

install or boot? isn't SuSe installed already?

[StaticSpaz]

i'm sorry haha, i'm getting nervous here, i meant to say "boot". SuSE allready installed fine.

[devils casper]

no need to be nervous. we will sort out this problem.

i have got this error a few months back. it was harddisk problem but Windows is booting up properly in your machine so its not harddisk problem in your case. i have to do a bit research on this problem. i will post back tomorrow.
its 1:16 am here.
