first, if you ever have to reinstall that 32 bits software runs very well on 64 bits hardware, so you are not at all obliged to use 64 bits distros, you even shouldn't do. 64 bit distros are only worth if you have more than 4Gb ram (much more)

Uhhmm... yeh.... tried that as well. Crashing kernels. Kernel panic. Crashing KDE ... etc. Gigabyte AMD64 motherboard. Can't remember which one. 2Gb of 667Mhz RAM.

you say kde don't start, so you should fall back in terminal only mode?

Yes. I would have said that as well. I'm using black screen and command line with Alpine to write to you :)

in this mode you *can* use yast. You can also as a worst but fast solution use sax2-vesa

The error message says... "/usr/sbin/sysp: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib64/libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot read file data: Invalid argument Sax: no graphics cards found at /usr/share/sax/init.pl line 158."
