Hello Steffen.
Two days ago I tried your suggestion. I booted without special options and
tried switching to console 3 by pressing Alt-F3; nothing happened. Then I tried
switching to console 4. There I found a text-based screen; eventually it began
repeating the following message until the boot process stalled:
hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5
I inferred from this that the problem was being caused by some USB device that
the bootloader was failing to recognize. So I unplugged all USB devices (a
mouse and a printer -- the printer was, in any case, turned off) and tried
booting again. This time, it worked: the boot sequence got past its logjam, and
I was taken to the standard screens asking for time zone, keyboard layout, etc.
After that, I plugged in a mouse -- not the one I had originally been using,
but a different one; the new mouse seemed to work fine. However, I later tried
again booting, this time from a live CD, and with the new mouse connected;
again I had the same problem; the program stalled. It seems to me that the
problem is not with the mouse itself, but with the program; for some reason,
openSUSE 11.0 installation CDs only seem to work on my computer if USB devices
-- in particular, the mouse -- are disconnected during the booting process.
Peter
