Hello everyone  
Just downloaded SLE12 for a small server, created a Bootable USB-Drive and tried to install it. I selected Install in the first Menu and the Kernel loaded. After its finished a black screen appears with some text and after that the screen just goes black and i cant do anything. I already Installed SLE12 on another Server and I never had any problems…  
Already thanks for your help and sorry for my English. 🙂

Have you tried different Video modes during install, press F3 during the initial SLE boot screen: [https://www.suse.com/documentation/sled-12/book\_sle\_deployment/data/sec\_i\_yast2\_startup.html](https://www.suse.com/documentation/sled-12/book_sle_deployment/data/sec_i_yast2_startup.html)
