notsc
Disable the time stamp counter. This option can be used to work around timing
problems on your systems. It is a new feature, if you see regressions on your ma-
chine, especially time related or even total hangs, this option is worth a try.

Disable the nohz feature. If your machine hangs, this option might help. Generally,
you do not need it.
Once you have determined the right parameter combination, YaST automatically writes
them to the boot loader configuration to make sure that the system boots properly next
time.
If unexplainable errors occur when the kernel is loaded or during the installation, select
Memory Test in the boot menu to check the memory. If Memory Test returns an error,
it is usually a hardware error.

• Try to select another screen resolution for the installation dialogs.
