Hi List!
I just tried to upgrade my 9.0 to 9.1, but installation hangs at "activating USB devices" forever. I did not have such problems with the 9.0 installation on the same computer. It is a HP Compaq d530, with USB keyboard and USB mouse.
Is there anybody with the same/similar experience, and possible solution?
At the bootmenu, add this option:
hwprobe=-usb
and see if that helps
Cheers,

Thank you, I tried it, but with the same result: "Activating USB Devices..." forever...
1. Remove any USB devices, and try again
2. In the boot menu, try 'Installation - Safe Settings'
3. Time to do some RTFM: have a look at the SDB (http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/index.html).
Cheers,
Leen
Well, 1 and 3 of the above helped together. Keyboard and mouse (USB devices) should be plugged out before HW scan and USB activation, and plugged in again after that. There is a text in SDB about a similar case.
Everything went fine after this...
Thank you very much and best regards,

As a prelude to installing 9.0 x86_64 on a laptop with a USB mouse, webcam and serial port, someone suggested I used the internal keyboard and touchpad, removing the USB devices during the install. The build was successful with all the devices attached and functioning, likewise with the 9.1 upgrade. I wonder if it's just a x86 quirk. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
