The man page for SuperProbe gives a great many suggestions, including
redirecting output to a file, not probing for RAMDAC or video bios, ..
not to mention a number of others. The man page specifically warns:
It is possible that SuperProbe can lock up your machine.
Be sure to narrow the search by using the -no16, -excl,
and -mask10 options provided to keep SuperProbe from
conflicting with other installed hardware.

That depends on what the problem is, but something is unresolved. Just
before it gives the error number it should tell you what the source of
conflict is. While there is probably a log somewhere, I've had install
work on the second or third attempt. While you may be able to have
more than one kernel version installed without conflicts (I'm not
sure), you may have fewer conflicts with only one. Try to resolve all
your dependencies before you install. I think kernel source includes
headers, but if not, you'll need that to recompile.
