I think that if you'll configure your machine (after install) with no mouse (from yast) you'll have no problem when you reboot your machine... try this at home! ;)
What it seemed wrong in my case was the fact that yast2 would start the "choose mouse" screen at each reboot, mouse or no mouse. I unplugged the mouse, and, at each reboot, there's the stupid screen again.
I think this is a bug.
No, from the SuSE point of view, it is not a "bug", it's a feature. Someone suggested that to solve this problem: "chkconfig --del hwscan" That has a disadvantage that if the hardware does change; the change is not detected. I think a better patch would be to go into the boot start up script and modify it similar to RedHat's approach: of having a timeout on the hardware detection tool at startup. I ran into a similar problem when I reconfigured from "lp" to "cups" and Yast hanged because it was having difficulty identifying my printer --- a timeout on Hardware detect would have solved my problem.
