Just bought a used box with an Asrock P4i65GV motherboard. Many attempts to install openSUSE 32bit on it have failed. 12.3 and 13.1. It stalls at "Search for Linux partitions" even if I pre-partition it. It stalls at the same point with Debian, Centos, Knoppix, Puppy, any Linux I have tried. But here's the mysterious part. Windows XP installs and runs just fine. I really can't or won't use Windows. Searches with Google indicate that there are Linux users with this machine and none of their problems are with installation.
Any ideas or comments would be much appreciated, even if they involve other distributions.
