Problem Running 11.1 Gnome LiveCD

Greetings,

I’m trying to run openSUSE 11.1 GNOME LiveCD i686 but I cannot get the GUI to run. When I switch to text mode the installation stops with the message “Creating device nodes with udev”. I have searched the forum for guidance to no avail.

My system configuration:

Dell Optiplex 320
CPU: Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00Ghz 1.96 GB of RAM
Chipset: ATI Radeon Xpress 1100
Graphics Core: ATI Radeon X300 Graphics
Disk Drive: SAMSUNG HD160JJ/P

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
