This hasn't been fixed (at least until last week).
The bug is quite critical as any boot of a xen system aborts without leaving any trace as to what happened until the critical moment: the screen is blank and no log file content can be found when the system is rebooted with a non-xen kernel.
Hi, please attach all yast logs - http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Report_a_YaST_bug It should be done properly in 11.3. -- 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.

Here are the logs. y2log-1 contains the latest kernel update and related installation actions which lead to the faulty boot parameter. -- 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.

Josef,
Please - I reported this bug 3 months ago. I have clearly stated what needs to be changed. You need no logs to fix it, you know that as well as I do.
Please talk to Jan Beulich or some other Xen guy at SUSE to find out what the correct syntax of this boot parameter is, and implement it accordingly.
Martin
Hi, I know correct syntax and there is code which translate parameters for xen entries to format mode-<vga> in 11.3. So problem is not that I don't know how to do it, but to find why it doesn't apply. -- 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.

Thanks for logs. I see from logs that you don't add xen kernel during installation but after. Maybe it is reason. Could you please attach your /etc/sysconfig/bootloader file and tell me how you add xen kernel?

That's it: The line XEN_APPEND="vgamode=0x31a " is in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader! After having installed and updated the 11.3 installation, I added the xen kernel and xen-related stuff via YaST2 software install. That's where probably the error crept in. -- 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.

Yeah, that is the reason, as correctly there should be XEN_VGA=0x31a I check logs again to find who create this line, as it is wrong. -- 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.
