https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889714 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889714#c3 --- Comment #3 from Felix Miata 2014-08-01 00:36:29 EDT --- Only apparent difference in failure mode attempting HTTP via Grub with 2 days' newer kernel/initrd on 2 different (Athlon/VIA) hosts is the fail to access media failure message isn't so pleasant. Still the tty3 tail ends with exit code 132, and tty4 signal 15. host kt880: # /proc/cpuinfo excerpts processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 1999.841 cache size : 256 KB cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 3999.68 clflush size : 32 cache_alignment : 32 address sizes : 34 bits physical, 32 bits virtual power management: ts # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Can you try boot option startshell=1? Do you get the bash prompt?

Yes, on ttys 1, 2, 5, 6, 9.

If so, what happens if you run 'yast' there?

Abort occurred in same manner as last time, but I went back through net setup manually to confirm repo access. On X startup the mouse pointer appeared briefly before X exited, but the ttys look essentially the same as before. /tmp only contains dk 64k, hostips 29, linuxrc_installer_name 5 and YaST2-First-Stage-Exit-Code 4. Trying again with startshell=1 dumps core with line 289 3395 illegal instruction. I've saved the core to disk in case another is wanted here. -- 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.
