in my opinion the problem maybe the graphics card..please specify your system(cpu,ram,graphics card etc).

i have an athlon xp processor, 768 mb of ram, and a geforce fx 5200. i read that some people had problems with the fx cards. and others had problems with certain types of monitors. they installed in the text mode, and it worked. is it more involved with installing in the text mode, or is it just missing the visuals, but it is the same steps?

i had a problem too with fx card which was fixed..when i selected a driver for nvidia fx from those provided by suse,my monitor was flickering and i had to install the drivers from nvidia to work properly..so maybe your system takes this default driver for geforce fx and stops there without continuing..to check this out use another graphics card and when the installation finishes update your system with the gf fx.then install the drivers for it and check if that works..if it doesn't the problem is your monitor..

For nvidia graphic cards, use the driver "nv". Then go to www.nvidia.com and install the "nvidia" driver so you can use your hardware acceleration.
Nvidia's readme has a detailed FAQ and installation instructions.--monkey
