People,
I have a ThinkPad iSeries 1161.  
It gives problems from all colors when installing since it is hang when
making autodetect in the moment that USB rises.
In fact the problem is since the APM the thinkpad ACPI it uses.  
Recompiling the kernel gets ready.
  
I could install him slackware because precisely NOT autodetect and then
of compiling the kernel, it was walking, the USB, the PCMCIA
and until the KDE.  
But like it was so well everything, I deleted everything and I put him a
SuSE in MANUAL mode so that it was not hang.
The installation had an error in the half and the hard disk not gets up.
They were all the well installed packages but the Lilo not it was made.
Therefore what I want is to be able to boot, to mount the dev/hda3 on
/ that it is where everything put, recompile the kernel (that already
have it loaded that), to make a mk_initrd, lilo and to exit walking!!!
  
That has been my intensión, but I stop my self because I am not able
to "boot" without be hang it. I made the following thing:
  
1) It starts up with CD -> Installation -> to Start installed system
/ dev/hda3  
  
2) It starts up with CD -> MANUAL Installation -> to Start installed system
/ dev/hda3  
  
3) It starts up with CD -> it RESCUES
This option allows to boot but it mounts me the root / in / dev/root,
per what I cannot mount the / dev/hda3 in / for recompile the kernel
and to install the bzImage in him, to make lilo, etc.  
  
  
It always dies in the "Detecting hardware."
I have not been able to pass any parameter so that not run the one
autodetect.
