9.2.5 Fails to Boot
Some hardware types, mainly very old or very recent ones, fail to install. In many
cases, this may happen because support for this type of hardware is missing in the
installation kernel, or due to certain functionality included in this kernel, such as
ACPI, that can still cause problems on some hardware.
If your system fails to install using the standard Installation mode from the rst in-
stallation boot screen, try the following:
1 With the DVD still in the drive, reboot the machine with [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del]
or using the hardware reset button.
2 When the boot screen appears, press [F5], use the arrow keys of your keyboard
to navigate to No ACPI and press [Enter] to launch the boot and installation
process. This option disables the support for ACPI power management tech-
niques.
3 Proceed with the installation as described in Chapter 1, Installation with YaST
(page 3).
