OpenSUSE 10.3 on PowerEdge 2500

[L.P.H. van Belle]

let me guest, 

You have a Drac controller.
Your server installes fine untill first reboot.

try: 
disable all virtual boot devices in the bios. ( see boot order ) 

also, you can unplug the drac controller.

Test if it boot, i think i will.

The problem is USB Storage detection is done in a other order
then the installation cd boot order. 

Greetz, 

Louis
