Hi, I've got an Acer laptop, AMD Sempron, 512MB ram, SiS chipset (including the IDE controller). The 11.1 beta 5 and RC 1 behaved absolutely identically in all that follows: After a fresh install, I get the following messages: blogd: can not open pty/tty pair: No such file or directory Trying manual resume from /dev/disk/by-id/ata-IC25N080ATMR04-0_MRA401K7K7Y9DH-part3 (swap) This is followed by some USB messages and then: Waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/ata-IC25N080ATMR04-0_MRA401K7K7Y9DH-part2 (/) to appear: ...... not found Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/ata-IC25N080ATMR04-0_MRA401K7K7Y9DH-part2? (Y/n) If I select 'no', I go immediately to the shell. If I select 'yes', it searches again and then dumps me to the shell. modprobe -l lists the following ide modules: ide-core.ko pci/sis5513.ko pci/ide-pci-generic.ko ide-disk.ko I've tried both the beta 5 and RC1. Neither would install with images enabled. Both installs generated no error messages if installed without images. Originally, my Linux partitions were in an extended partition. I eliminated that and now they are primary partitions. I've tried installing everything to a single partition and that didn't help. I tried using the default kernel (instead of the PAE), but that didn't help either. I get the feeling that the kernel is not properly recognizing my drives. Are there any kernel flags that I could try? Thanks, Jeremy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
