           Summary: Installation with Base CD-KDE doesn't work with an
                    external USB CD-ROM
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Installation

Hardware: Notebook with no internal floppy but only USB. Boot CD via external
USB CD-ROM

1. Bios recognizes external USB CD-Rom and boots openSuSe
2. Normal Installation of OpenSuSe starts
3. It hangs when it tries to activate usbdevices last line is "via_rhine"
4. The systems gives the following message: "Could not find the OpenSuSe
Repository." It gives on all occasions the clear message that it doesn't
recognize a CD-ROM.
(Alternative Installations without ACPI etc. don't work either).

It seems clear that the Installation System does not have the proper drivers
for a standard external USB CD-ROM (Windows XP Instellation doesn't have any
problems with it as I have found out).

The problem is grave as many notebooks only boot with external USB CD-ROMs and
there is no way of installing Linux properly in theses cases.
