http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585432 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585432#c1 --- Comment #1 from marc tro 2010-03-05 12:32:25 UTC --- I have more detailed information to append: I found out that after the Installation (from the Live System) and the following reboot, YAST needs to finish some configuration. And obviously it is exactly this thing which goes black. If I press Ctrl+Alt+F7 or F8 on the resulting black screen the screen changes from black to a strange white grid like this: http://e.imagehost.org/0566/DSC00004.jpg In the top left corner you can see some icon which should be a lizard-symbol in fact. I am pretty sure that it came from the YAST configuration tool. The configuration however can never be finished because the screen is unreadable. Another important point: let's assume I have not installed openSuse yet and I am just putting in the openSuse CD into the drive and start the computer up: the CD boots into the menu. Now if I want to choose a direct Installation (and not booting a Live System) following happens: a green bakcground with the lizard appears and obviously openSuse is loading some files into the RAM (my guessing). After that the YAST screen SHOULD appear - but in fact it doesn't. I also ends up with the same black screen or white grid. I also tried out options like apm=off or acpi=off but it didn't change anything. Also I tried it out on the KDE CD, but it happens the same. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It isn't on my system after finishing the second stage when booting with nomodeset. This makes the wait_for_x11() function hit an infinite sleep 1 loop. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

No testX -> no X11 installation. I can only add a requires to sax2 but I suppose that is not a desired solution. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
