Just adding two or three lines to the end of "grub.cfg" could provide a suitable option. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=822769 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=822769#c4 --- Comment #4 from Neil Rickert 2013-07-15 17:37:07 UTC --- I'll start by admitting that I am not completely sure of how things work with a DVD. I mounted the iso for the 64-bit DVD for 13.1M3, using a loopback mount (mounted as "/mnt". Inside, I see a file /EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg That path is relative to the mount point. If I look at a USB that I created from the same iso, there's an EFI partition on it, and a file "/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg" in that EFI partition. Those two "grub.cfg" files are identical in content, though with different time stamps. I'm pretty sure that is the file that we are talking about, but there are two instances of it on the DVD. Looking inside that file, I find a boot section: --- menuentry 'Installation' --class opensuse --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { set gfxpayload=keep echo 'Loading kernel ...' linuxefi /boot/x86_64/loader/linux echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrdefi /boot/x86_64/loader/initrd } --- and I believe that handles the normal boot on a UEFI box. My suggestion is to add a similar section immediately below that: --- new section --- menuentry 'Install nomodeset' --class opensuse --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { set gfxpayload=keep echo 'Loading kernel ...' linuxefi /boot/x86_64/loader/linux nomodeset echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrdefi /boot/x86_64/loader/initrd } --- end new section --- I tested this by editing in that new section to the copy of grub.cfg in the EFI partition of my 13.1M3 install USB. I then booted that USB on my UEFI box, and selected the "Install nomodeset" menu item. It seemed to do what I expected. I have no idea what has to be changed in the sources that are used to generate the DVD image. But it can't be that difficult to locate what to change and where. I hope that helps to explain what I am suggesting. -- 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.
