Hello I can not install Leap 15.0 (openSUSE-Leap-15.0-DVD-x86_64.iso downloaded today) on a friend's old Asus X53S laptop. This was a bit unexpected because the machine was running a dual boot setup Win7 / openSUSE-42.1 that I installed a few years ago. A sticker on the laptop sayes that it has a "GEFORCE GT540M CUDA 2GB" card. The installation of Leap 15.0 stops abruptly at boot menu right after I select "Leap 15.0" to initiate the installation : Loading initial kernel... Loading initial ramdisk... I tried hitting 'e' at the boot menu screen at the beginning of the Leap 15.0 installation and then scrolling down to the line that begins "linuxefi" and adding "nomodeset" at the end.. Existing line was : linuxefi /boot/x86_64/loader/linux splash=silent I added nomodeset like this : linuxefi /boot/x86_64/loader/linux splash=silent nomodeset After which I hit Ctrl + X or F10 to contine booting. This changed nothing. The installation of Leap 15.0 stops abruptly as before. I also had the same problem trying to install Leap-15.0 with the openSUSE-Leap-15.0-NET-x86_64.iso I downloaded TW (openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Current.iso) and it installed fine. :) The Asus X53S video details on TW setup follow : linux-ws6z:~ # lspci -nnk | grep -A3 VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

When I tried installing it, I had same problem - that is the installation of Leap-42.3 stoped abruptly at boot menu with the same info : Loading initial kernel... Loading initial ramdisk... Any and all help to install Leap-15.0 and/or comments are appreciated.
