I am trying to install the new OpenSuse Leap 42.1 on my PC.I already tried 4 different installation mediums:DVD with full installationDVD with Net installationUSB with full installationUSB with Net installationFor all of them I receive the exact same result: While initializing the installation process, it hangs at Starting udev.... The first minute or so the cursor at the end of that line is blinking, but after a minute or two even the cursor stops blinking.I already tried all of the available options, like text mode, no KSM, Safe Settings and so on. But nothing changed the result, for no setup device. The only thing which happened when I set the kernel settings to No Local APCI is the following:First it showed Switching to clock source tsc for a long time (probably 5 minutes or so). Then it added random: nonblocking pool is initialized to the output, but after that nothing happened.For my setup:I have a i7-3770 processor, a radeon HD 7970,16GB DDR-3 RAM, ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP Mainboard, one 128GB SSD with Windows 10 installed, a 1TB HDD with data, games and programs (all for windows) and one empty 500GB HDD which I would like to use for OpenSuse.I had an older version of OpenSuse already running two years ago on this computer.Can someone provide me a solution to this problem or help me narrowing its cause, please? If you need some additional information I can provide those, but I could currently not think of any other important information.
Installing OpenSuse Leap 42.1 - Installation hangs at Starting udev
system installation;opensuse;udev
I actually figured out the solution to this weird problem and the solution is equally weird:I had to plug in the DVD drive in another SATA slot. I have two places on my motherboard with SATA slots: A group of two SATA slots and another group of 8 SATA slots and the DVD drive was plugged in on of the slots in the group of two. After plugging it into a slit on the group of eight, where also all the hard drives are connected, the error did not occur anymore and I was able to install opensuse (and also every other distribution as all of them did not install before) without any special settings.
