Strange issue, but I've been running into problems with 10.3 since updating to beta 1 from 10.2.
I suspect, but am not sure, that my issues are somehow related to the new modular mkinit process, it's more or less the only difference I can find in my boot logs as compared to 10.2. The lockups occur almost immediately after all the various xxx.sh scripts start running, but not always at the same point (which makes it harder to figure out where the problem is).
Try setting "PROMPT_FOR_CONFIRM=yes" in /etc/sysconfig/boot. You might want to set CONFIRM_PROMPT_TIMEOUT to something longer than 5 seconds for the first couple of boots. I had similar problems on a HP dv6400 with some of the 10.3alpha kernels. In my case it turned out to be /etc/init.d/boot.clock and I could lock the system at will by running hwclock --systohc or hwclock --hctosys (I don't have the problem on the current 10.3beta1 kernel and could never quite nail down the root cause when I was seeing the problem on earlier kernels.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
