Removing the packet with the nouveau driver solved the problem. nomodeset on the init command in grub is no longer necessary. -- 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.

For the real status of the bug you have to look at the status of the primary bug report, so this report. -- 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.

There is also a similar bug linked with this at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=709067 Re #8: Tried a couple of times to install on my Radeon machine but a bug in the installation process has stopped me both times. May try again and get lucky though another person reports having to try half-a-dozen times before skipping the bug.

This necessitated a tap on the reset button but did not require "nomodeset" during the reboot. I've tried to install RC1 on the Radeon machine but it has proved to be impossible so far. However, to get past a "green screen of death" at the mid-install boot, I've had to resort to "nomodeset" once more. Unfortunately, the machine then runs increasingly slowly - network configuration with no input required took 20 minutes - and eventually stops altogether. If I eventually manage by hook or by crook to get RC1 installed on the Radeon machine and there's still a problem, I'll do as you say and raise another bug report. -- 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.
