I used the manual install option when 9.1 hung up after screen message about USB.
If I were you, I'd switch off or unplug all peripherals except your internet link (modem or lan/adsl), including USB. Then try again. I have noticed some slowdown on loading when SuSE Linux loads if I have any USB connnections plugged in/on.
Please excuse my jumping in here. I had exactly the same problem installing 9.1, and arrived independently (and accidentally, I might add) at the same solution. And it DOES work, up to a point. That point being when I plug in my USB Zip drive after completing the install, and Linux flatly refuses to acknowledge its existence. I've tried about everything I could find in the archives regarding USB detection and hotplugging without success. Since your reply suggests that a) you installed SuSE 9.1 after unplugging all your USB devices, and b) when you plugged them in again, they worked, I'd welcome any ideas you may have.
