First, let me ask a few questions. This is a fairly new system.
 
Any reason why you are trying to install SuSe 8.2, rather than a newer version? Most likely the problem is the hardware on your system is too new for this version od SuSe.
 
Could you post the motherboard make/model or system make/model that you have?
 
Is this the net/boot install cd of SuSe, or the full version on CD?
 
If you burned the CD yourself, what speed did you burn the cd at?
