Mino Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hi New here at Hak.5. Great shows! Thumbs up! Here's my problem: I have gotten hold of 2 PC7s ( 566 MHz Celerons, rugged PCs ) and I have succesfully installed Suse 9.0 on one of them but the other one gives me a freakin' headache! When running the Suse 9.0 installation the language selection screen appears but no list of languages?!?!? I have tried installing newer versions - nothing. Other distros - they hang when setting the clock. It has been running Windows NT Embedded before swiping the HD. Any ideas? Henrik PS: Before asking - ( .75 * Dane + .25 * Swede ) = Henrik PPS: Getting desperate - have a $2,200 paper weight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Panarchy Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Why don't you just go back to Windows NT Embedded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mino Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Because I haven't got the install disks for it.. And I don't want more than one MS running PC in the house.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 What are the hardware specs like on those things? Might be a case that it needs some drivers that aren't standard. If that is the case, have you considred trying *BSD on them? NetBSD is ment to be ported to many types of hardware, and despite the sorry state of the OS as a whole, might be worth a shot. If that doesn't work, you may be forced to go back to windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mino Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 Well... I have succesfully installed the other PC7 using Suse 9.0 and it's working perfectly. It is the otherone which fails. The hardware is similar and BIOS ( incl. battery and RTC ) seems to be working.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
