A fraction of a second after starting the boot process the screen turns black and will not display anything any more (the monitor reports "no signal"). Booting with nosplash or splash=0 results in a handful lines on the screen, which however disappear so quickly that I cannot read the content. I believe that I read something like "conflict with preserved memory" on one of the last lines. However the computer boots into a running system to which I can login remotely. I attach "/var/boot.msg", "/var/messages" and "/var/warn" created on this system. The system boots perfectly into the graphics environment with the vanilla kernel 2.6.34.10, so it is clear that the problem is due to the SUSE patches to the kernel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: To reproduce: boot with SUSE kernel 2.6.34.10, default or desktop flavour Actual Results: A fraction of a second after starting the boot process the screen turns black (no signal). Expected Results: It should boot into a running system with working display. Upgrade to SUSE kernel 2.6.34.10 on another computer with the same mainboard but using the onboard display of the MB instead of an AGP card worked without any resulting problems.
