Firstly, I got hung up at the same point (starting udev) the other day when I plugged in a USB keyboard... No extra physical drives were present! Secondly, the same thing happened when I had more than one HARD DRIVE is present in the system! This would completely prevent installing on a RAID as the system would never even start the installer while both drives were connected... -- 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.

I'm having trouble reproducing reliably at the moment.

I have tried now at work on another old 865 I found and it gets as far as where it says 'Found a Linux console .... or words to that effect then crashes ( as in no picture and no keyboard response ). With nomodeset it gets all the way through to the gui install. This machine only has the intel onboard graphics whereas mine has an nvidia agp 6200. Since I started this post I have found another 865 with a nvidia 6200 and it works fine ( without nomodeset )so I am now completely confused M -- 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.

If I use maxcpus=1 I couldn't reproduce it in 6 tries. So this does look like a good theory. And I wouldn't be suprised if the bootsplash is affected because as soon as kms is loaded, the bootsplash rescales the jpg. -- 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.
