SuSE 8.0 install problem

I tried to install SuSE 8.0n Pro on my computer (HP 233 MHz Pentium) and didn't get very far at all. The computer booted from the CD 1 with no trouble and went through the initial text messagess up to the message about looking for a braille display. Next came the clock icon and the system hangs there. I tried safe install and even the text install but still the same. I have contacted SuSE tech support and was directed to send to SuSE an e-mail containing all the info on my hardware. I still haven't heard from SuSU so I am hoping that someone in this list might be able to help. I have run SuSE versions 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0 and 7.1 on this computer with no trouble. Any ideas?
