Then you do something differently because I see graphical splash. I just tested with pure text mode and indeed it boots correctly.
I have been using nomodeset and with everthing else default. It seems that choosing a graphic sizes somehow initializes the chip different and a graphical bootsplash is shown. What do you mean with pure text mode ? There is no pure text mode with plymouth. Plymouth can show details or can show a non-graphical bootsplash (the tri-colored green bar at the bottom of the screen). But in each case Plymouth is running in the background.
1. Install i586 12.3 RC1 NET ISO on 5GB qemu image using command
qemu-img create /datastore/kvm/plymouth/hda.img 5g qemu-kvm -hda /datastore/kvm/plymouth/hda.img -m 768 -hdc /datastore/iso/openSUSE-12.3-NET-Build0024-i586.iso -boot d
2. On initial screen select 800x600 resolution, add "nomodeset" to kernel parameters, select LXDE graphical desktop. Accept everything else as default.
3. System is installed and rebooted into run-level 5.
4. Add "3" to kernel command line in grub.cfg, reboot. Stuck on splash screen.
5. Fetch current packages from Base:System (0.8.8_git201211022126-110.1), rpm -F, edit grub.cfg to add "3", reboot. Stuck on splash screen.
6. Edit grub.cfg to disable gfxterm entirely, boot with terminal in pure text mode console - boots OK.
I am currently running these instructions to see where it will bring me. I will let you know what happens after these steps have completed. -- 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.
