And now, to answer the question "WHY are the Failsafe options on?" (see catbird... not a "smart" question). This is an issue I've requested assistance with a number of times.
When? I just looked in the opensuse-factory and opensuse-kernel mailing list archives for your name back to 2013 Jan 01 and found no subjects that look like this, finding only NIC and Grub subject lines.
It's a slowly being modified back to "normal", because the installer, when booted on THIS system and NOT in failsafe, puts the display into selftest mode (never installs either). I had to install in failsafe (resulting in grub2 being set that way). Now I'm trying to turn the "stuff" off that kills my performance.
And Jan, yes, I understand this configuration turns off SMP. Now, tell me what turns it back ON.
Just for the record, the live CD/DVDs do this too using OpenSUSE. Ubuntu live doesn't, Fedora live doesn't. This "error" seems to be unique to y'all and now I'm asking to help me fix it so I can properly report it to the bug tracker so maybe it can be fixed going forward.
I have no multicore laptops.
