I tried installing openSUSE-Leap-42.1-DVD-x86_64.iso that was burned to dvd .
My computer is an Asrock Z97 Extreme6 motherboard having an MSI GTX 970 graphics card, connected to a benq 27" monitor @ 2564x1440 via display port cable.
I have tried booting the dvd from the UEFI screen as UEFI:Fat and as AHCI:ATAPI.
Booting the dvd listed as uefi is more problematic, no graphics but it seems to get through and ends up hanging at “Starting udev…” just the same.
I have gone through the UEFI {bios} settings, i have disabled everything ACPI. I have disabled the HPET thing. Have disabled all onboard lan. I had the CSM - compatibility support module- enabled and all set to legacy, along with legacy for all usb support. Hard drive mode was set to AHCI (other choices for that were RAID and ATA/IDE). Anything that was “uefi only” related i turned to legacy, and if it was not needed i set it to disabled such as the serial port. When booting the dvd via ACHI:ATAPI mode I get a nice full resolution graphic of a light bulb then it goes to the green install screen albeit at lower resolution but i have a full screen menu for boot from hard disk, installation, and so on. I hit F5 and set kernel to safe settings then choose install. It proceeds but ends up hanging at starting udev…
I have linked 2 pics of what was on the screen for the uefi dvd boot and for the ahci dvd boot.
I don’t know what to do, how long should i wait for udev… ? I waited about 10 minutes.

Probably the NVIDIA card
OK Dual boot? You want all OS to use the same mode mixing is a problem
Best to initially to set secure boot of but check the box and it can be turned on after install
Boot the install media in EFI mode at boot menu press e find line starting linux or linuxefi go to true end of line (it wraps) add space and nomodeset
Press F10 to continue
This should use fall back drivers
Use same trick to boot the first time and add the proprietary NVIDIA drivers
If installing in legacy mode (don’t mix booting mode with other OS’s) Select F3 from boot menu and select nokms
Here on a Extreme 3 it works, but without EFI.
