Ok, my BIOS recognizes that the hard drive is there, but when I go to boot, I get a screen that says “No Bootable Device”… I can boot ‘Live CD’s’ but cannot get to the HDD…Any suggestions? What I did proir to the problem was try to load Damn Small Linux over Suse. Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi.
Have the open SuSE Linux distros, both the KDE and the GNOME versions of 11.1
I boot from the CD, it loads everything(in text mode), then asks for a login and password, both of which are not listed on the website, and no amount of tinkering will let me in – whatever I try, the result is: “Login incorrect.” – this just goes on like this forever, no matter what I try or what combination of obvious words(or no words at all).
Does anyone know what the password is for the SuSE live CD’s?
I never get to the GUI, and I am never asked to enter a username or password before this prompt.
It’s a pretty crap thing to do, to make available iso’s of an OS(any OS), which require passwords that are not provided or displayed prominently on the download page…
Not impressed really, and it has almost put me off this distro just because of this annoyance. It is the same problem no matter weather I try to use the KDE or the GNOME live CD – blocked at every turn by a stupid request for an unknown login and password. *sigh*
Can anyone help?
Hi – Thanks, but leaving the details blank, the system then reports(after 60 seconds): “Login timeout.” and then it goes back to asking again. If I press [ENTER] twice at the login and password prompt, I still get the login incorrect response.
