Hi,

I'm running in some troubles here.
I recently bought a HP Pavilion ZE4357EA laptop and installed SuSE 8.2 Pro
on it.
It had some small issues with the Legacy USB support thing and the pcmcia
but these are all solved.

But now that I bought SuSE 9.0 Pro, I wanted to try this new version on my
brand new laptop, since it has a new config for Samba in Yast to log on to
Windows domains etc I wanted to give it a try.

Now come the problem :

When I boot from the CD or DVD of SuSE 8.2 Pro, I see a welcome screen in a
bunch of languages popping up on the screen and after about 3 to 4 seconds I
see the Lilo bootloader which gives me all the possible installation
sections.
So far so good.
But when I boot from the SuSE 9.0 Pro DVD or CD, I see this welcome screen
again, but this time, the computer just hangs and doesn't continue.
I never see the lilo screen comming up.

Tried CD and DVD, but no luck. It seems that I'm unable to install, even
boot from DVD with this version :-(

Anyone a tip or the same problem ?
What can I do to make it boot correctly into lilo and bypassing this welcome
screen?

Regards,

Luc
