I have built an OS on [susestudio.com](http://susestudio.com) 64x and im trying to install it on my AMD A6 Quad-core system wit ATI Radeon Graphics and thats my problem. everytime it gets past GRUB it show 3-4 black bars at the top of the screen and the rest is yellow red pink black white and blue Fuzz like on an old TV when it doesnt have reception or Snow. im using a preload iso and im installing to a usb Hard Drive.

Im new to Linux so this is proving difficult for me

If you are new to Linux I would highly recommend you start with a standard  
DVD installation, or maybe a LiveCD for KDE or Gnome, but creating your  
own build and then hoping it will work the first time out may be a bit  
much for a starter. Have you tried using the 12.3 DVD? If you write it  
to a USB/thumb drive the installation is really fast and easy and should  
work reliably.

Good luck.

If you did a standard install, then that’s what we should troubleshoot  
first - we get past that issue, and then it’ll be easier to figure out  
what’s not set right in the appliance you’ve built.
