... once reboot after selecting the new kernel from the GRUB menu openSUSE begins to load, the screen flickers (this is where the backlight normally turns
I think the flicking is due to kernel mode setting and should be fine.
off) and the backlight stays on but the screen goes black and the OS seems to stop loading (we never get to the point where Geeko's eyes starts moving). I tried letting it sit for a bit but nothing changes and the openSUSE never finishes loading. But on the plus side the backlight stays on! :)
No idea why the patch would lead to such serious side effect .. I suspect this might be *other* kernel issue? Can't know the kernel I built the patch against is same with yours .. it would be great if you could provide the changelog info of your kernel $ rpm -q --changelog <your kernel package> If you are still willing to test a bit, try to use the kernel flavor same with yours, for eg like kernel-desktop. Above is all up to you, hope bios had fixed the issue. :) -- 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.
