The first being a USB driver problem. This is because I can not start with an openSUSE installation from USB stick or external USB DVD drive. I can start with a network installation though. 2) When the first part of the (network) installation finishes; thus graphical user interface is selected, partitions are defined, package selection has been performed, packages have been installed and the bootloader is written the system boots. But during this boot, the system can not find a bootloader! With some trickery I was able to boot the earlier installed CentOS and restore the mbr that was created by CentOS. At this point I added menu entries in grub/menu.lst for openSUSE (standard boot and failsafe boot), these were copied from the openSUSE installation. After rebooting the system and making the choice to run the failsafe openSUSE, I run into the 3rd problem, that I'll explain later. I think that the boot loader is not written correctly, because fdisk says: WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. /me wondering if openSUSE supports GPT? 3) problem 3; is that display information is not sent to the external monitor port, but to the internal LVDS port. This makes the monitor completely black and useless. Adding the kernel argument video=LVDS-1:d does not help. The 3rd problem is showstopper for me, as I've been able to cope with the 1ste and 2nd problem using workarounds. However I've no alternative for problem #3 Should I open seperate bug reports for the problem #1 and #2 mentioned above? This bug report is already for problem #3 (monitor black / standby after boot) -- 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.
