I found a solution for SuSE and Radeon X300. Stupid me. I have to set the resolution on the boot screen to something less than maximum (default). Then it seems to be willing to go ahead. Oh yes, I also have to remove the LSI20320R SCSI adapter, and install to the SATA drive. Maybe I can install to SATA, then install drivers for the LSI, then (with luck) move the SuSE system over to a SCSI drive.

I have tried SuSE 9.3 and 10.0 retail, and 10.1 Beta3 (download), to no avail. (all x86_64) The 10.0 retail starts booting, then dies with Kernel Panic: not syncing: attempted to kill init. It looks like it is trying to use /dev/sda2 which would be correct. The 9.3 and 10.1B load the kernel and immediately hang with the monitor black and its message saying "out of range" which I presume means the signal is garbage or invalid. My config: Asus A8N-SLI, 1GB, AMD64 3700+ LSI 20320R (4 drives) and one WD Raptor on the SATA bus ATI Radeon X300 on PCI-Express with NEC Multisync LCD1770GX Sony CDU-810A multi-format CD/DVD I have Win XP Pro x64 on the first (boot) SCSI drive and it runs just fine. :-( FWIW, I have seen various installation hangups with Ubuntu (cant read the loader component). Fedora installs and runs but looks crappy with 800x600 (and its first kernel update panics). SLAX 5.0.7 boots fine and runs, but I want a more complete system, and what I really want is SuSE. Sigh.
