I finally tried init=/bin/sh to execute yast and stop from loading at the boot the services which halts my system but i cant do that cause there's no root nor user account being created so far

So what i get is a :

yast2.pid i think cannot write on READ ONLY FILESYSTEM

If someone knows please how i can stop these services or knows the command to write at the boot options to stop hardware auto detection so i can finally install my suse i'll appreciate it

Thank You

(Starting hotplugging services net pci usb ( there halts ) in the install halts at the ehci-hcd ( which is the only one i dont probe so i can finish the install)

If I were trying to get past this, I'd go into BIOS and DISABLE all USB ports legacy EVERYTHING USB.

If you have a USB add-in card, I'd Yank that out...

There are known issues with Hot-plug and SuSE 8.1. There are fixes available POST-install ... hope this helps.

And BTW, you have to

Code:

mount -o remount -o rw /dev/that/is/root /

In order to have a read-write filesystem the way you are doing it.

The installation stops during the detection of the USB
controller or hangs at Activating Hotplug Devices [net pci
usb] when rebooting.

Cause

The cause is still unknown.

Solution

Note: The workaround described in these lines will disable
the USB support. The USB support can be easily reactivated
as soon as a solution for this problem is found.

Enter the following option at the beginning of the
installation:

hwprobe=-c03:*:*

This option suppresses the hardware probing of all USB
devices. Please note that at this stage you are working with
a US keyboard layout. Further information on this boot
parameter is available in the file
/usr/share/doc/packages/hwinfo/README.

Proceed with the installation. At the end, a message about
LILO being written to the disk will be displayed. Do not
confirm this message yet, but switch to the console 2 with
CTRL-ALT-F2.

A minor change must be performed in the file
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/YaST2.firstboot so that the file
/etc/sysconfig/hotplug contains the variable
'HOTPLUG_START_USB="no"'. In our example we use the editor
pico, but this editor might not be installed depending on
your package selection. If pico is not installed on your
system, use joe (/mnt/usr/bin/joe) or vi (/mnt/usr/bin/vi)
if you are familiar with its operation. Enter the following:

/mnt/usr/bin/pico /mnt/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/YaST2.firstboot

Search for the following line (approx. line 80) with the
cursor keys:

lspci -n 2>/dev/null| grep -q "Class[[:space:]]*0c03" && USB=yes

and change it to:

lspci -n 2>/dev/null| grep -q "Class[[:space:]]*0c03" && USB=no

Quit the editor with CTRL-x, "y", and [ENTER]. Switch back
to the console 7 with CTRL-ALT-F7 and confirm the message.
Now the installation will be completed.

I'd have just disabled the USB ports anf umbled through it... and re-enabled em later...

Same effect different route.

Almost . . . :p
