as with most of the stuff i say, i mean what i say.
"it does not boot" means I do not get a login prompt from a working linux.
There is not a shred of kernel logging to be found in /var/log/messages or so.
Wether it is exactly the kernel or something that the kernel needs that fails,
is hairsplitting, which is not an activity I participate in, not my patch.
the result is that the system does not boot, and that's what this is about.
I emptied messages, then tried the xenboot,
and there is *nothing* in messages after forcing a reboot via ctrl-alt-delete
nothing as in 0 lines, 0 characters.
if you know of some other log file, please let me know, happy to send it.
something might be on the screen, but it is too fast to see for me.
it "looks like" (but I do not *know*)
like this:
x11failsave is a kernel option, believe it or not.
If it is not, please explain why every suse standard installation is putting
the next line as a kernel command line with every "SuSE failsave boot" in the
menu.lst:
_________________________________________________________________
showopts apm=off noresume edd=off powersaved=off nohz=off highres=off
processor.max_cstate=1 nomodeset x11failsafe
_______________________________________________
with x11failsave and nomodeset, it does boot.
with only x11failsave it does not boot.
and with only nomodeset it does not boot either.
afaik,
xen,gz is the kernel, and the module lines after that are the kernel for the
dom0 domain and corresponding initrd, or at least that is what the readme's
tell me.
if that is incorrect, then please point me to the accurate documentation.
my first kernel was 0.83, so I am happy to learn anything new, even after 20
years.
sorry I can't offer more help, but that's where we are now.
the nomodeset + x11failsave although perhaps not existing, do the trick,
so I am happy.
I am going to have a serial console, but the gear I had was with a too short
cable to get to the com1 connector on the board.......
so perhaps we will have to wait for that to arrive.....
regards
rens
