Thanks guys
I tried Tomas's suggestion of insmod=e1000 hostip=192.168.1.10
netmask=255.255.255.0
This got me past the network config selections but I was then asked if I
wanted to continue, selected yes and got a kernel panic again.
Someone has also suggested I might get further if I use com port 2 as
opposed to 1, will give it a go. I also now have a copy of SLES 9 sp2 so
will also try that. If all that fails I will try upgrading the firmware.
I'll let you know my findings
Regards

Unfortunately with the following string "install console=hvsi0 textmode=1" the screen still goes blank after starting yast I also tried this vnc string "install vnc=1 vnc_password=abc123 netdevice=eth0", this takes me past the NIC selection and asks do I want
to use DHCP. I select 2 for no, however I get the kernel panic error again. I wonder if there is also an argument to "install" to answer the DHCP question, something like dhcp=no?
Thanks Martin
