Just boot from CD #1, answer all questions as if you'd start a new installation, and screen #4 or #5 of yast2 will give you the choice - new installation - update system - boot installed system (your selection should be obvious...)

Hm, I thought I tried that too, obviously I did something else. Thanks for pointing out that there is a way to install in case there isn't another interrupt free - I like a well-designed linux system! So far my usb interrupt is shared with the ne2k-pci module and the network is fine, though that may only be because I don't have any usb devices connected - fingers crossed. Btw I'd find it cool if the info with a step-by-step method to start up the installer without attempting to load usb.o was added to that sdb article about usb.o panicking (search usb, 7.2). Volker

I got a dereferenced null pointer for a missing usb interrupt. As far as I remember the manual method will also run the hardware auto-detection, the panic will then just be a little later as with the boot-from-cd-1 method. Volker

7.2 Install locks up during hardware detection
by Argentium G. Tiger 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

I've got a SuSE 7.2 install starting from the boot floppy disk. The 7.2 files will be installed via FTP. The boot procedure halts on this first diskette at this point: Starting Hardware Detection... > usb.3: read info After that, it just hangs. The hardware is an iWill DBS-100 dual Pentium III 450 MHz machine, with one 256 Meg SDRam DIMM, an ISA Intel network card, two PCI Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 network cards, an ISA Soundblaster AWE32 with WaveBlaster daughter card, and a Diamond Stealth PCI video card. In the bios, I've disabled the Bios Keyboard, COM1:, COM2:, and LPT1: to free up some interrupts. I didn't see anything in the bios to specify USB services in general. Any ideas anyone? Argentium
