You may also want to verify that you are using the most up to date firmware
release (SF235_180). Believe it or not, this often helps!

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
