The problem happens during installation My efforts are recorded here https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/506001-Acer-E-11-new-install-from-live-USB-failure summarised below This is the 32GB eMMC 11.6 netbook, fresh out of the box It came with UEFI and Windows 8.1 Ran 13.2 live from a USB stick, all seemed good so choose the install option. Chose "use entire disk" option and let openSUSE do its stuff. boot sequence goes through Grub loading, Welcome to GRUB! to menu to "Loading Linux 3.16.6.2-2-desktop", "loading inititial ramdisk" After the 13.2 background picture, the system is seemingly frozen hitting "esc" reveals [OK] Started Show Plymouth Boot Screen [OK] Reached target Paths [OK] Reached target Basic System after a while screen goes blank Trying again with live USB now the boot sequence loops around a timeout failure for activation of LVM2 same result with full ISO eliminated graphics by using "nomodeset" same results using "tumbleweed" ISO
