ISO burned to DVD. Boot from DVD and expected splash screen is given. Finally selection to boot from hard drive... If ANY option is taken besides boot from hard drive (I didn't test this one), the load fails. This failure is seen by the screen not only going dark, but in my case, the status light to the LCD unit shows loss of signal. IF you select TEXT for the display, a series of modules being loaded shows, and then the whole thing hangs (last 2 modules listed: [ 0.184001] [<ffffffff819d80b0>] kernel_init+0x102/0x15c [ 0.184001] [<ffffffff8100d6ca>] child_rip+0xa/0x20.) I tried again with ACPI disabled and text mode, and sure enough, I am in the text mode of the install, doing an install repair (because 11.1's GRUB got twisted somehow). So a reboot and ACPI only disabled and the full graphics system ran just fine for an upgrade (from 11.1 64 bit). This is interesting in that *All* SuSE installs (32 or 64 from 10.2 to 11.1) along with a few other distros have worked on this system without having to disable anything. Config info: AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 4200+ 896MB Ram ATI RS690 (Radeon X1200 Series) ATI SB600 IDE & Non-Raid-5 SATA Dual 500GB SATA drives (with /home being RAID1) Reason for testing this, problems found with 11.0-1 in the set up of RAID1 while doing install. Seems that GRUB is not correctly configured. As you can see, I didn't get that far this time. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
