Suse 8.1 on Packard Bell laptop

I tried to install Suse 8.1 on a PB laptop, iGO 3000 model. I could not find a way to install successfully the distro. On the first kernel startup, it hangs on hw autodetection while retriving infos about PCMCIA. I used the manual installation, and it only worked when i manually loaded usb storage modules before booting. The installation process went fine, then it hangs at reboot. Someone had similar problems? Thanks! Andrea Negro -- andrea@alessandria.linux.it andrea_negro@it.ibm.com jabber andrea@jabber.linux.it
