Two new installations using Serial console of SuSE 7.3 from a CD set on
both a Sparc10 and a Sparc5. Both cases failed with the very informative
error message, "An error occurred during the installation!" YaST seems to
run and allows me to set various options and to restart the installation,
but the installation on both systems always fails.
One poosible clue is the following modprobe error that appears during the
boot cycle on both systems.
