I'm seeing some similar behavior to Johannes. I've got an older desktop clone with an Intel DQ30J0 system board and a GeForce 8400GS Yea, I know its old, but for its age it doesn't do too bad. :)

I can dd the image to a TOSHIBA MK5061GSYN drive in a Sabrent USB 2.0 drive enclosure. Upon reboot I see the kernel and initrd load, but the screen will go blank. There is a flash of an error message, but I can't read it. I believe it says something about gfxterm I belive. After that, there is another line displayed that says, "/usr/sbin/klogconsole". The machine doesn't hang or anything, there is just no output visible on the screen. The appliance does install. There is no video though, but I have been able to log in and reboot. If you press Esc and still see no text messages I would suppose it is a KMS/ graphic driver related bug.

Here's the kicker, I can take the drive another machine and it works fine. I can even dd the same appliance to the same hardware without any problems. Yes, my HP Powerbook also boots this repartitioned devices fine. Some don't seem to have issues if the boot/root partition isn't active.

Anyway this will be fixed soon. -- 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.
