If you have already a Linux system running on it download the install kernel and initrd from the /12.1/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/loader/ directory. The files are named initrd and linux. Next boot them and then you can install. This process will drop you in the text mode.
I do nearly all my installs by starting downloaded installation initrd & linux with Grub, but the process rarely drops me into text mode. What hardware is doing that to you? Here's the last Grub stanza I used for an i865 system: title Install SuSE 12.2 snapshot kernel (hd0,2)/suse122/linux showopts install=http://download.opensuse.org/factory-snapshot/repo/oss/ lang=en keytable=us hostname=myhost hostip=192.168.1.2/24 gateway=192.168.1.1 nameserver=192.168.1.1 namescheme=by-label kexec_reboot=0 ipv6.disable=1 noresume video=1152x864 vga=0x318 3 nomodeset initrd (hd0,2)/suse122/initrd Of course for 12.1 the source would have to be .../distribution/12.1/... rather than .../factory-snapshot/.... -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
