I tried to upgrade Suse 10.2 to 10.3 but that failed so I did a clean, fresh install with a freshly partitioned harddisk. Suse displays the boot options screen and then switches to the normal splash screen where you should be able to press esc to get to text screen showing you what its doing.
And this is the problem, its sits there for 2 minutes or more and the keyboard won't respond. Then it finally starts the boot process at which point I can press esc to see the progress. Once it starts it behaves normally but I have to eliminate the long delay before it boots.
Edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and add "splash=verbose" to the kernel boot options, instead of "splash=silent"

I experienced a problem similar to this on a clean install, but since the system finally booted, after checking for sata drives about 4 times for each possible location, I thought maybe it was just being overly thorough. I do recall that the delay starts with the message: COMRESET failed (error=1009) I jotted it down because at first I thought it was not going to boot. -ED- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
