Error installing SuSe 11
When I installed version 11, I get the following error message when trying to boot from the disk.
GRUB loading stage2. Read error
And then the system hangs.
The system is a well used P4 that had XP pro on it.
Is this a compatibility/hardware issue, or just a bad spot on the disk.

My only guess is that it might be using a (fake) RAID controller?? There could be a gazillion other variables. But IMHO, if it's having difficulty finding the disk, that would be one of my first guesses. Often times in the BIOS there is an option to change how disks are seen... if there's an option to NOT use the (fake) RAID, try that.
