left in the drive. To install the system, select one of the installation options with the
arrow keys. The relevant options are:
Installation
The normal installation mode. All modern hardware functions are enabled.
Installation—ACPI Disabled
If the normal installation fails, this might be due to the system hardware not sup-
porting ACPI (advanced configuration and power interface). If this seems to be the
case, use this option to install without ACPI support.
Installation—Local APIC Disabled
If the normal installation fails, this might be due to the system hardware not sup-
porting local APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controllers). If this seems
to be the case, use this option to install without local APIC support.
If you are not sure, try one of the following options first: Installation—ACPI Dis-
abled or Installation—Safe Settings.
Installation—Safe Settings

mation about kernel parameters at http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc.
