Hi, I've got a serious problem: the installation procedure crashes when YaST2 is coming up. I'm using a patched bootable SuSE (8.2) CD, and it worked perfectly until now. After some debugging I found out that the problem is somehow hardware related: if I run 'hwinfo' manually before YaST2 is starting it's autoinstallation procedure everything goes ok. If not, than YaST2 crashes. Strange thing is that when i run 'hwinfo' there is a lot of screen garbage generated when it shows my NIC settings (Intel). I've tested it on 2 new machines (we're using HP XW4000 workstations) so it's not a faulty machine... I'm guessing the machines are equipped with a new chipset or something... Anyone a suggestion what to do? I can patch my CD that 'hwinfo' will be run before the auto installation process does this, but I find it a ugly hack :-(

Met vriendelijke groet / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards,
