[Bug 551302] New: Blank screen during network mini-cd installation on system with S3 Trio64 video
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551302 Summary: Blank screen during network mini-cd installation on system with S3 Trio64 video Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: support@microtechniques.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) I was unable to install from the network mini-cd on an older IBM Netfinity 5000 system. The mini-disk boots to a blank (white) screen. The system has an S3 Trio64 video card. SuSE 10, 11.0, and 11.1 have been successfully installed on this system using the mini-cd. I could use yast2 on the running 11.1 system to upgrade all of the components.

Apparently the kernel framebuffer and X fbdev driver no longer works on/with this old card. I suggest to install in text mode therefore. I'm afraid we can't address issues with such old hardware any longer. :-( -- 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.

Two concerns: 1) One of my main reasons for using linux over Windows on many of my servers is to avoid the necessity of having to constantly upgrade the hardware for each new release, and the ability to prune out the unnecessary bits. But here I have a response indicating that the ability to run on just about anything is no longer a priority. And it is not like the drivers do not exist - they worked fine in 11.1 2) OK, the install isn't going to work and I have to use text mode. Then the install process should automatically switch to text mode instead of leaving me staring at a blank screen. And, how do I switch the mini-cd network install to text mode? -- 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.

The message was: panic uncompression error. I downloaded and burned another copy of the mini-cd, and it works as expected. I would suggest un-linking this from bug 548328, and changing the resolution to resolved. -- 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.
