I removed the KVM switch, and connected Keyboard, Monitor, and Mouse direct to
the PC. I then rebooted dozens of times, trying to boot the
kernel-pae-2.6.25.4-10 kernel.
The behaviour was identical (with freeze in exact same place with same
characteristics) - ie 50% grub will freeze and when grub does not freeze, 80%
of the time the kernel boot will freeze. That suggests to me that the KVM
switch is not a factor in this problem.
One note, ... I do not have a PS2 mouse, but rather I have been using a
Logitech USB mouse through the KVM (and for the direct without KVM tests). I
used a USB-to-PS2 adapter to connect the mouse to the KVM. For the direct
"Keyboard, Monitor, and Mouse" to PC tests, I tried testing with the USB mouse
connected direct to a USB port, and also tested with the USB mouse connected
direct to a PS2 mouse (via the USB-to-PS2 adapter). It made no difference.
The behaviour was identical (with freeze in exact same place with same
characteristics) in all cases.
When the 11.0 grub menu lets me (and does not freeze), openSUSE-10.3 still
boots every time, with no problem. This is in contrast to 11.0 which, when the
grub menu lets me (and does not freeze) the 11.0 kernel will freeze 80% of the
time.. I may replace the 11.0 installed grub menu, with a 10.3 installed grub
menu, to see if I can take "grub" out of the picture.
Other than that, I am pretty much out of ideas for testing.
