--- Comment #11 from Lee Matheson 2010-05-24 10:21:28 UTC ---
I note the 32-bit openSUSE-11.3 milestone 7 (build 0625) does not boot at
all to X on this Fujtisu-Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop (with the 855GM graphics),
in either 1024x768, 800x600, VESA, nor Safe Settings with or without the
"acpi=off" option. Adding the "nomodeset" boot parameter makes no difference.
In all cases when X tries to load one ends up with a black screen and a small
while dash in the upper left corner. A characteristic of all these failed
boots is the boot initially failing with the last message:
[ ... 55.013924] rtc0: alarms up to one day, 114 bytes nvram
and a <CTRL><C> is then needed for boot to continue. Then after continuing it
fails again with "dash" in upper left screen. I do not know if this is
associated with 855GM error noted earlier, but I suspect it may be. It is no
longer possible to boot X at all with this laptop in 11.3.
It is possible to boot to run level 3 by selecting the F3 text mode. One
does not get the pause noted above if there are no additional boot parameters
added (such as acpi=off). However from run level 3 it is not possible to boot
to X without getting the above mentioned freeze.
I believe the solution to this 855GM problem is as noted in comment#8 above
