Hi,

I found an issue when trying to install the opensuse Leap 15.0 on Dell Precision 5530. The screen hung at the following message:

Loading basic drivers...ok
Starting hardware detection...

Both UEFI & Legacy mode could experience this issue.

I tried to add a boot option 'nouveau.modeset=0' before starting the installation process and it could bypass this problem.

By listing pci devices, I found a NVIDIA device (id:0x1cbb) in my laptop ->

01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1cbb (rev a1)

I think it should be NVIDIA Quadro P1000.

To solve the hang issue caused by graphic hardware detection, we can just follow this page to install NVIDIA driver ->

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers

Here are my steps:

1. Add NVIDIA repo and update NVIDIA driver packages.

# zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/15.0 NVIDIA
# zypper inr -r NVIDIA

2. Remove the boot option "nouveau.modeset=0"

3. reboot system
