http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1029187 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1029187#c1 --- Comment #1 from Mircea Kitsune --- I discussed this on IRC in parallel, and people are suggesting this might be plymouth related. I tried the following: "dracut -f" to remake initrd, reinstalled grub2 from YaST - Boot Loader, reinstalling all plymouth related packages. I rebooted once more: Normal boot option causes the freeze, advanced boot option works. But here's the funny thing: I do in fact see the splash screen for the advanced choice as well, with which I seem to not be getting issues! Mind you, the splash screen has been broken for some time... it's just a gray background with three green ??? characters instead of images. I think think is a different issue however, as it's been like this for much much longer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please wait a few days until closing this issue to be safe, considering the crash seemed to have a probabilistic factor: I will comment again if it keeps happening, otherwise this has been solved. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It does sound like this should remain open in that case. If anyone else can replicate this, please reply and let us know: Someone posed in the forum about experiencing a plymouth crash, although for them it's only an error shown in the logs and does not freeze the boot process I understand. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think I've found the memory corruption in one of the tpm patch that would harm the legacy bios boot using the "linux" command. If you are using UEFI, Did you disable Secure Boot and using "linux" command to boot ? Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am using the system packages in openSUSE Tumbleweed, therefore I have the latest version of the boot loader and its components installed by it. My motherboard is an older model and does not support UEFI, so I don't believe I'm using that. I would like to test any changes once they're in Tumbleweed, as I don't use third party repositories for system packages to avoid any risks of breaking the system... I update daily with a 'zypper dup' however, so I will see how the system behaves after the latest updates. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
