I think that in the end, it is only a small fix to solve this problem. I was able to start an openSUSE installation from within the Mageia installation that I installed before. Using the media free install procedure as described at: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Network_installation#Media_free_network_installat... This way the initial opening screen was prevented to show up, and hence the installation could go on as it should be. After downloading all the packages from the openSUSE download server (would it be possible to refer to the CD/DVD drive with all the packages, to speed up the installtion?), the system booted. After this boot the initial opening screen is shown and this time I can move around on the screen. However, after starting the regular (default) kernel the monitor is put in standby mode. I changed the kernel line in the grub menu.lst file and added video=LVDS-1:d to the kernel arguments. I can see that the argument is picked up, by the messages door are dumped to the screen. Unfortenately adding the video= argument does not help this does not help :( (I only added video=LVDS-1:d, should I perhaps add more????) This really forces people, that have this board, to move away from openSUSE! :( Are there any other hints to make openSUSE available on this system? Would it be possible for example, to perform the media free installation remotely? I'm thinking of something like this: title install root (hdX,X) # change this (hdX,X) initrd /boot/install/initrd kernel /boot/install/linux install=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-stable/repo/oss/ vnc=1 vnspassword=magicien Would adding the vnc arguments to the kernel boot line work? Would the information for the remote connection, also be used for the boot after the initial installation? -- 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.
