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.
