I had a problem with the install locking up on my Sparc Ultra 5, it would
boot the CD and start YAST but hang up when it was making a keyboard
selection, the screen after the language selection.
I found that I could install if I select US English, this, I decided, was
because I have a US keyboard/system but was trying to install for the UK. (I
am UK based). RedHat 6.2 went on to the same system without a hitch, but it
isn't as nice as SuSE.
Is this similar to what you have Davide.
