WORK-AROUND... thanks (scsi naming problem)

[Dave Mallery]

 SUCCESS! i removed the usb card, ran a full install (which re-booted fine),
re-installed the card and all is well.
i filed bugzilla #18060 on the installer.

Thanks. This fixes two machines.

hi peter
at the end of the first part of the install, all i can get for a terminal
(via ctrl/alt/f2) is a busybox prompt.
its help does not contain any module-manipulators.(lsmod, etc).

for my next try i will remove the usb2.0 card.

thanks very much. that's the first meaningful help i have received on this
problem ever.
