OpenSUSE 10.2 Installation hangs at hardware detection?

Hello.

I've got a copy of OpenSUSE 10.2 on DVD from a British magazine called Linux Format. When I try to install it with YaST2, the installation hangs at the hardware detection screen.

I was able to install OpenSUSE 10.1 a month or two ago from CDs that I download via BitTorrent from the OpenSUSE website a while ago, however I want the latest version of OpenSUSE on my PC. The only downgrade I made to the system was to remove the third-party graphics card [and so make the system use the integrated graphics chipset] and put it in a PC that needed it more than mine.

Any ideas?

I'm willing to try everything: after all, it's an old PC - and I am tech-literate, so you can use tech language!

Step by step instructions, would, however, be nice!

Thanks in advance

Update:

Thanks Arandhati!

How do I switch to a second virtual terminal? I'm not that clued up on Linux issues.

    Try UBUNTU instead, their are three versions. If you have less than 256MB of RAM you will need the XUBUNTU version. You can download it or order a cd at:

    Switch to a second virtual terminal and look at the install log file.
