Despite being "powered", it would still not boot (and, interestingly, the backlight did not reset to "bright" when I plugged in the brick). Backlight is a good hint. Iirc someone else had problems booting recently and suspected it happens when the backlight is adjusted. Most likely it's the video.ko driver (together with the Intel graphics cards i915 driver if you have such a card) causing this. Possibly it may be the thinkpad-acpi driver doing backlight switching.
You could try to blacklist them in /etc/modprobe.conf.local: blacklist video blacklist thinkpad-acpi not sure whether this is enough for the video driver or whether it gets loaded due to dependencies to the graphics driver. You could try to move it away then from: mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/acpi/video.ko /tmp and move it back later if you finished tests: mv /tmp/video.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/acpi -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
