Using 64 version.
Managed to start installation in text mode, and it does manage to get beyond
the point of displaying "Updating kernel module dependencies ...", and reboots.
Only problem is that it immediately crashes on starting stage 2 GUI part, due
to the crap ATI driver that is used. To get around this problem, during the
stage 1 installation I had to also add nomodeset to the boot kernel options of
the default boot choice, and also change runlevel to 3.
This allowed me to at least get to login, though stage 2 does not take place in
text mode, not sure if there is a text mode stage 2. Unless someone knows how
to get stage 2 to continue.
At least I can install the half decent proprietary ATI driver and change
runlevel to 5, and reboot. Rebooting, results in stage 2 trying to continue,
now at least I get the openSUSE splash screen and busy mouse pointer. Nothing
else appears, only thing you can do is move the busy mouse pointer around or
reboot.
The default rubbish ATI prevents even installing completely using text mode for
stage 1.
