Try checking the Suse website. Their help database might have something
in it.
Also, try again, but before it reaches 100%, try going to one of the
virtual terminals (e.g. alt-f1, alt-f2, etc.) and see if you can find a
console log sort of screen to see what it's doing. I know the older
versions did that, but I don't remember at what point they started
writing and that you could switch to see them. I'm thinking you want to
check VT's 2, 3, 4, and/or 10. Sorry, but it's been over a year since
I've needed to do this.
HTH,
Kevin
