Hi Martin,
SUSE SLES 9 (SP0) had a bug ... try to provide a kernel argument
console=hvsi0 or use SP2 CD1 for installation. If you are not using SP CDs
you also may need to do a rescue boot after the installation and correct
the line in /etc/inittab, it should look:
hvsi:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 9600 hvsi0 vt102
If you are running network installation you can hardcode boot arguments
using mkzimage_cmdline tool, see

Hi
I am trying to install suse enterprise linux power on an ibm p710. This server does not have a graphics card, I am using an IBM 3153 terminal set to emulate a vt100 I can boot to the sms menu and then select the cd device to boot from. I then get the boot prompt and type install. The server loads the kernel
from the cd into ram and then states that it is starting yast. At this point the screen goes blank. I cannot therefore continue the install; I thought the server might be trying to output yast as an x windows application instead of ncurses. I therefore tried to install using the following string to enable connection to eth0 using VNC. install vnc=1 vnc_password=abc. The screen then prompts me to select eth0 or eth1. I select eth0 and the
kernel panics with the following error kernel panic: hvsi_recv_control: service processor closed HVSI connection
Any help is much appreciated Thanks Martin
