Personal SUSE build installation issues.
I have created a personally made SUSE-based distro using susestudio.com and it will install just fine on my laptops (32-bit Acer Aspire One ZG5 and MacBook 4,1). However, when installing on an old Emachine desktop, I get the following error seen in the image. It has two hard drives with the largest one split as /boot (ext2), / (ext4), Linux-swap, and /home (ext4). I used to have Puppy Linux hard installed just fine (I know; unconventional), with grub working. It essentially just hangs on that screen with an unresponsive keyboard. Is there a fix or missing packages I should add to my build to avoid this? The machine doesn't have a lot of RAM, but I did the install via IceWM and Yast through the terminal and walked away. I came back with what looked like the typical restart after an install. I thought this was kind of odd since graphically it asks questions regarding grub and no automatic restart on the other computers.
