[12-05-06 16:01]: When I boot the machine up, it powers off. When the init starts, it tries to acheive level 5, but there is a yellow "warning" when it gets to that part of the boot, then it just sends an init 0 and the machine shuts down.
I am a linux newbie, but i want to learn how to use it!
Can anyone give me a hand? I've trawled the archives for a bit and found nowt!
Sounds like your X display is not configured correctly, but you have not told us what equipment you have.
I doubt it is X as that *should* not cause a restart. You can add the parameter "3" at the boot screen which will boot into runlevel 3 where X does not run. Did the install work ok and you are only have problem booting after the install happened? Did you get to the part in the install where you specify root password? Of course the best in such a situation is to get the serial console output if possible [1]. -joachim [1] http://en.opensuse.org/Serial_Null_Modem_Connection --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+help@opensuse.org
