[ltp] T23 and Suse Live Eval disk?

[Syd Hancock]

This is a question I've been meaning to ask for a while. When I 
first got my T23 I tried a Suse 8.1 Live Evaluation disk in it and 
what happened when it went past the opening screen was really 
scary. 

The machine totally locked up with a blank screen, the green leds 
were flashing, the fan came on and the hot air was really hot and 
smelled of hot electronics... the thing was totally locked up and 
not even the power button would do anything. I really thought it 
was totally fried (lm_sensors was the first thing I thought of) but 
thankfully after a few minutes the fan stopped and I was able to 
power it up again and take the CD out. 

Since then I have installed mandrake 9.1 with no problems (except 
the minor glitch of getting a video driver) and has run perfectly 
ever since. Knoppix no probelms either (and it has the correct 
video driver too).

But it has put me right off Suse which I would actully like to try 
out. Has anyone else seen this and/or does anyone have any 
comments?
