Yes, I believe you are correct.  The host of which I spoke does now boot with acpi=off,
but I'm afraid I no longer have the opportunity to experiment with installations on it (it's
been moved into production).  Since in my case I, too, believed it was a non-autoinstall
related problem, I had checked with regular SuSE support about it.  Help was not
available since RAID was involved (which is understandable), so I had to find other
ways around it.  I know that there was some problem that went away after I did away
with the SuSE modules.conf and replaced it with a much more tailored (and simpler)
version, but unfortunately I can't remember for sure if it was the SCSI RAID boot hanging
problem or not.

Thanks for your reply!
