When it hangs, try to switch to another terminal, press control-alt F12 or try alt f2 or so and then back to alt-f7 this has worked for people who have a Acer 613 TXC Travelmate laptop and with other video cards, if all goes well you should be able to resume installation.

There have been a few messages on this subject but so far I haven't found any answers. I have tried to install SuSE 8 on my computer and the install hangs just after it says that it is searching for a braille display. I called the SuSE tech support and was told that this is a know problem on just a few computers. The tech asked me to e-mail my hardware configuration which I did but I still haven't hear from the in more than a week. I also wrote to this list but haven't receive any responses. Even the safe install and the text install do the same thing. Can anyone help me with this? I have included a shortened hardware info.
