that you have to add "nomodeset" each time when you boot. You are not that far. OK.
Besides, "nomodeset" has value as debugging tool, but you actually want to have modesetting, unless computer is a server and graphic performance is not important. It is a server though I guess graphic performance would be nice to have.
Next try is to boot using menu item Advanced options, it is the same as Failsafe in previous releases. It will disable few more things that may hang computer. Does it do nomodeset? I did try failsafe but didn't seem to get any further.
Also, you may try text mode that will skip GUI mode. The text mode install? That is what I am trying now. I won't know til I get home if it worked.
Also, it would help to think about problem if you have some technical data about hardware. I don't think that "Sun Ultra 20" will help us looking for hardware specifications. That crossed my mind last night. I was thinking I should have provided more detail. The processor is an AMD opteron 64 bit. Graphics chipset on the motherboard is ATI. The computer is probably 8-10 years old now. Though I don't remember the last time I installed an earlier version of SuSE, I think I remember having graphics trouble. I thinking at this point I might buy a new graphics card that might be better supported.
