Hi,
I'm having trouble booting my SuSE professional 9.0 following installation. I've tried installing using the no-ACPI and safe-mode options but neither appear to help. My PC always freezes at approximately the same point while booting (once it made it all the way to the login screen but froze there). Unfortunately, verbose mode doesn't give me many clues except that it's soon after the setfreqd procedure/command when the problem arises. Possibly, I need to look into installing some drivers at installation but I'm wondering whether I might have a problem because my hard disk is greater than 137Gb. Does anyone know if this could be the source of my troubles?
It could be cpufreqd in theory if your BIOS is particularly broken and has a wrong PST table (i assume you meant that with setfreqd) One way to verify would be to boot with "confirm" on the kernel command line and say y when the boot process asks you for interactive boot mode. Then skip cpufreqd. If that helps you can disable it later using the sysv init script editor in yast. -Andi
