The CD boots, but not well. At least if booting using Installation option all works but gets stuck at "Starting Postfix...". I'll need to check some more, but on my side don't see any problems with udev. What exact hardware you have? -- 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.

After experiment I found that the live system is loaded but only of I use the boot option 'nomodeset'. I went back to the Beta2 disk and found that this also works if I use 'nomodeset'. If I don't use nomodeset then with RC1: a) Default kernel gives: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC Loading KIWI CD Boot-System... --------------------------------------- Creating device nodes with udev [Freeze] b) Safe Settings gives: Loading KIWI CD Boot-System... --------------------------------------- include: Line 4446: export: 'psmouse.proto-bare': not a valid identifier Creating device nodes with udev I then get a new screen with levd and levadm error messages plus ones that indicate ata5 and ata6 are frozen. The image is shown above as comment 5. CONCLUSION Having gone back to the README notes I suddenly realised that it is probably my NVIDIA GForce 6600 graphics card which is causing the problem - as KMS may not be able to handle it. The technical section talks about the problem of initialising graphics but does not mention that the problem may occur at the udev stage. The technical notes also asks "Is the entry is still required in 12.2?" On the present evidence it is and I would recommend that there is an additional paragraph which recommends that 'nomodeset' is also used with the live CD, distribution/rescue DVDs etc whenever NVidia graphics gives problems.

I don't have that graphics card so I wouldn't be able to reproduce that easily and even see, but I do get the point. I'll close this as invalid and if there are some more problems you can reopen the bug. -- 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.
