https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=392198 Summary: 11.0 beta3 freeze 75% of the time at start of boot Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 3 Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Booting AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: lee_matheson@hotmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- It appears either the 3733012 bug is back, or one very similar is randomly present, on 11.0 Beta3. Original report: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=373012 Since installing 10.3 beta3 (on same hardware as above bug report) about 75% of the re-boots fail with a freeze (similar to what I saw on the alpha releases), and only 1 out of 4 re-boots (or power on) succeed on the Beta3. This is on the same hardware as the 11.0 alpha problem. The symptoms are 11.0 beta3 freezes immediately after: Probing EDD (edd=off to disable). I tried setting edd=off as a menu.lst boot parameter and it made no difference. The PC still freezes approximately upon boot 3 out of 4 times. (Note randomness, .... some times it will function right away, other times it takes 7 or 8 tries to get a boot). I'll open a new bug report on this, and reference this older report (in case they are related). Prior to this boot failure, (and independent as near as I can determine), Grub also misfunctions (independent of this) about 75% to 80% of the time (but does not correlate) where grub graphic menu fails, and PC only boots to a text grub menu, with grub error 7 (with subsequent message "graphics initialization failed"). I don't know if that is related to above boot failure, but it does not seem to correspond to subsequent boot failure (other than it fails about the same amount of time). After error 7, PC will still go to text boot menu in Grub. [I can raise a separate bug report on Grub if deemed useful]. The 25% or so the PC correctly boots linux (and X), on some times the grub graphic interface works, but most the time it does not. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
