Subject: RE: [suse-axp] Boot hangs when installing on AS 250/4

    I now managed to get the machine booting:

    I used the aboot-tga Image from SuSE 6.1

    Thank you all for your help!

    And here's the next problem:
    Wenn I use the 6.1 boot image, the yast
    does not recognize the 6.3 module for
    the ethernet nic (DE 450).

    Where can I get the image for the 6.1 modules?

    I know it should work, if I buy the 6.3 CD
    (then I don't need the NIC to install linux
    and I'm able to build a new 6.3 kernel),
    but the time is too short for me to wait,
    until I get the CD.

    TIA again!

    Best regards,
