The default AFAIK is 'console=tty1', which means your system hangs due to graphics issues.
Ah, I hadn't thought of that, thanks.
Try to append also 'ignore_loglevel console=tty1'. That way the kernel output is mirrored to serial and graphical, and hopefully the actual issue will be logged to serial.
Will try.
When I specify "device=tty1", I have a physical console up until a point in PCI initialisation: [ 0.227858] PCI host bridge to bus 0000:00 [ 0.227862] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [bus 00-03] [ 0.227865] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io 0x0000-0x03af] [ 0.227867] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io 0x03b0-0x03bb] [ 0.227869] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io 0x03c0-0x03df] [ 0.227872] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io 0x03e0-0x0fff] [ 0.227874] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io 0x1000-0x5fff] [ 0.227877] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0xf5f00000-0xf7ffffff] [ 0.227879] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x000a0000-0x000bffff] [ 0.227906] pci 0000:00:03.0: [1022:7460] type 01 class 0x060400 The above is from 'dmesg' after a successful boot, I can't be 100% certain this is exactly where it would normally halt. I am not getting any serial console output though - initially during POST, the system recognises the serial port, but once the kernel and the initrd are loaded, no more output. I am booting a xen host, does that matter? The graphics device is: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Rage XL PCI I seem to remember some issue with this type of graphics, but it's a long time ago and I can't find anyreferences. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
