Re: openSUSE "initializing the installation process" Do you/can you check the media or use fsck on the device you want to install on?
I'd try booting a bootable CD of some distro, and checking the media you want to install to.
Also, is the ISO burn good? What do you see on the CD drive light when this happens? What do you see on the hard drive light?

Saint Paul, MN | I dont even get to a point to choose what media I want to install to.
I did set the BIOS settings to fail-safe and I got past the "initializing the installation environment" screen to a media check screen where it froze. all drive lights off. i think i will re-burn the install cd with the padding option and maybe at a slower speed too.
Prior to setting the fail-safe in BIOS all boot option (safe mode, without acpi, etc) had same issue.

Windsor, CT | If you still have an issue after reburning the ISO, take some other distro that boots off the live CD and installs off the same one. See if that is successful.
