Description:
  Currently when kernel fails to load, user can only give up on
  installing openSUSE. Failsafe mode can help sometimes, but load of
  kernel parameters can introduce problems later. Problem for
  inexperienced users is how to edit list, and find additional parameter
  that can help.
  The model that Knoppix is using offers alternatives that may work on
  particular hardware without going trough process of discovery of proper
  kernel parameters, and it has help pages available right from the boot
  screen. Both combined make booting possible with very little to no
  experience in kernel issues.
   
  Discussion:
  #1: Glenn Doig (doiggl) (2009-04-18 07:54:07) 
  Can a option of booting a kernel be used with failsafe paramaters to
  get a very basic system going with terminal session you can work from
  that.
  If the boot fails print a error message about the problem and perhaps
  offer suggestions for installing a kernel which would boot with very
  basic options.
   
+ #2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2010-11-15 09:44:58) (reply to #1)
+ Do you have a concrete idea how to do this?
