So I tried NOHOTPLUG=YES as a boot parameter, and then NOHOTPLUG=YES and NOCOLDPLUG=YES, but boot is still hanging in the same places - it seems that these boot parameters don't work in 9.0.
Look at the scripts /etc/init.d/hotplug and /etc/init.d/coldplug, those are the ones interpreting those parameters. In 9.1 they are there and caught, I don't have 9.0 here at the moment to check, but in 9.1 it looks like hotplug: if [ -n "$NOHOTPLUG" ] ; then hotplug: echo -n "Hotplug will be disabled due to NOHOTPLUG=$NOHOTPLUG" and coldplug: if [ -n "$NOCOLDPLUG" ] ; then coldplug: echo -n "Coldplug will not be executed due to NOCOLDPLUG=$NOCOLDPLUG" Note that the parameters are case sensitive

I'm about ready to conclude that the SuSE desktop is not ready for prime time, and that SuSE doesn't care. I know that's harsh - but skimpy and apparently inaccurate documentation along with too much stuff that does not work like HP printers/Scanners (only works under root)/PC Webcams and meaningless error messages/unstable applications/too much system maintenance have tolerance limits in users, especially me. Too much time, not enough results.
Sorry to hear that, I've had excellent results with it
