Help ! SuSE 9.3 installation

[attawee]

I am new here. I have application running under SuSE 9.3 but not 10+. I need help on the following questions.

1. I have problem installing it on intel Core 2 Duo machine, it cannot see the cpu.

2. The installer cannot see SATA hard disk not raid 5 SATA card.

Any helps are appreciated.

can you explain the first one ?

Sorry my mistake.

I tried to install using bootable dvd. Installer did not run, so I post the first question. After little fiddle with bios, I manage to install SuSE 9.3 but still could not get it to recognise SATA hard disk.

Any help ?.

Thanks

I guess that SUSE 9.3 doesn't have the necessary drivers for your SATA disk.
I'd recommend to try OpenSUSE 10.3 instead - it should come with the drivers needed by your HDD.

Thanks.

I have problems with my application, bought at high price, which cannot be used with linux that does not support old type process id. OpenSuSE 10.3 uses threads and processes which my application gets confuse and behave unexpectedly.
