You can provide following arguments to have your network configuration
already done:
insmod=e1000 hostip=192.168.1.10 netmask=255.255.255.0 ..
in this case there will be no DHCP request.

Unfortunately with the following string "install console=hvsi0 textmode=1" the screen still goes blank after starting yast I also tried this vnc string "install vnc=1 vnc_password=abc123 netdevice=eth0", this takes me past the NIC selection and asks do I want
to use DHCP. I select 2 for no, however I get the kernel panic error again. I wonder if there is also an argument to "install" to answer the DHCP question, something like dhcp=no?
Thanks Martin
