Then I rebooted and selected the "rescue" line in Grub2 choices and, upon commandline loginin as root, immediately issued a "startx". Lo and behold, the IceWM desktop came up quickly. This is repeatable. Obviously "First Run" had not occurred, since I had to set up my network card from scratch. I then did my install of KDE3 from Factory and, before rebooting, changed /etc/sysconfig/Windowmanager to "startkde3" and Displaymanager to "kdm3". Then rebooted and *allowed the first line/default in Grub 2* (not rescue mode) to boot. It did successfully to the KDE3 login, and afterwards I had my KDE3 desktop. I cannot explain what happened or why, only the result. I saved the /var directory from my install after making my initital bugzilla report, so I still have that if anyone wishes for me to attach particular files. -- 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.

As far as I can tell this happened during the yast firstboot phase. The log shows no repeated activities or long delays. though. So it might be the last log entry is the problematic one (no idea what it does). -- 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.

Also it would not explain the "hardish lock". -- 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 imagine that you could close this bug report, then. -- 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.
