Versions, man, versions. There's a huge difference between Ubuntu
9.10 and Kubuntu based on 8.x, and theres a difference between
OpenSuSE 10 and 11.
Also, you need to actually SAY what's happening. Refuses to install?
Does a box pop up and say "I'm sorry, Dave, but I'm afraid I can not
allow you to do that." Do you get error messages? what problems
specifically that you don't see on the others?

Define "huge hard drives with conservative partitioning"
more than just the mainboard. What other hardware? IDE, SAS or SATA?
Any raid? Video card? You mentioned sound issues, what sound card?
You need to be a little more specific as these are very generic
statements and right now there are just WAY too many variables to
really troubleshoot. Your problem could be anything from a bad CD/DVD
ISO or burned disk to random interstellar nano-particles attracted to
systems generating a specific electro-magnetic signature that is
created with a particular OS performs certain low-level operations on
silicone based computer chips.
Ok, well, I just made that last bit up, but still, you get the idea.
So write back and give us more specific info on what problems you're
seeing, what kind of hardware, etc...
Cheers
Jeff
