Suse 9 is rather old, and seeing as your hardware is quite new I would think that is the problem.

You might be able to download updates for it as you are installing if your network connection is up and running first.

But having said that, I started with openSUSE at version 10.3 so I don’t even know if they did updates at install time back then!

If you have no serious reason to use version 9, then maybe download and install a later version.

You can get either a net install .iso, liveCD .iso, or the complete dvd .iso from download.opensuse.org.
