I have same problem. when I try to rub Yast2.Second.Stage manually it always run in graphics mode and fails.
Any way to force it to run in text mode?

Does anyone have trouble with Vista runing slowly on their computer, mine does and it’s driving me insane?

When I try to install opensuse 10.2, after I press Installation, it goes to a blank screen and stays there. Doing nothing. It won’t install.

Rex your suggestion did the trick!. Thanks for suggesting a simple and cleaner way. I think opensuse has to make the text mode option much explicit and visible.

I avoided this problem by starting the installation in text mode
instead of having it fail to get the right answer from the video card and forcing text mode.

On the very first screen in the install, hit F3 (labeled “VESA”) and select “Text Mode”. After the boot at the end of disk 3, it will nicely prompt you for a root password.

for those with no root password.
at the boot options screen type 1 this brings you into single user mode at which point you can re-invoke the yast installer
by typing
sh /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.Second-Stage
for those with USB KB+mouse
as far as I can tell it’s your PC’s bios.
I have a lot of IBM ‘s that came with USB KB but also had PS2 connectors
the USB KB works fine.
