Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 - INSTALLATION AND ADMINISTRATION 04-08-2006 Installation Manual page 39

Installation—ACPI Disabled
If the normal installation fails, this might be due to the system hardware not sup-
porting ACPI (advanced configuration and power interface). If this seems to be the
case, use this option to install without ACPI support.
Installation—Safe Settings
Boots the system with the DMA mode (for CD-ROM drives) and power management
functions disabled. Experts can also use the command line to enter or change kernel
parameters.
Use the function keys indicated in the bar at the bottom of the screen to change a
number of installation settings.
F1
Get context-sensitive help for the active element of the boot screen.
F2
Select the display language for the installation.
F3
Select various graphical display modes for the installation. Select the text mode if
the graphical installation causes problems.
F4
Normally, the installation is performed from the inserted installation medium. Here,
select other sources, like FTP or NFS servers. If the installation is carried out in a
network with an SLP server, select one of the installation sources available on the
server with this option. Information about SLP is available in
Services in the Network
F5
Use this to tell the system that you have an optional disk with a driver update for
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. You will be asked to insert the update disk at the
appropriate point in the installation process.
A few seconds after starting the installation, SUSE Linux Enterprise loads a minimal
Linux system to run the installation procedure. If you want to know what is going on
during the boot process, press
the end of the loading process, the YaST installation program starts. After a few more
seconds, the screen should display the graphical installer.
