Just a stab in the dark, but maybe try a custom compile and see if there are
any options for disabling PS/2 support. If it's headless, this wont
matter   I know there was an option for that in the 2.4 kernels and all
my headless boxes run with no local TTY/keyboard/mouse support. All
input/output is on remote/virtual TTY's (COM1 is connected to a modem pool
for when I REALLY to be "on the box").

I try to install without PS/2 hardware. I used a usb-keyboard, but
suse 9.1 64bit hangs during the installation.

With KM4M-L i had the same problem. (2600XP+)
But with older chips MS6378, KM2M it works. Strange?!
