But I do not see where that can be specified in Bugzilla. At least not where this bug was entered. -- 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.

Now you have to do that manually as the subject you asked is not implemented. -- 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.

Reason: The text mode (kernel cmdline textmode=1) tells yast to start in text mode (ncurses based) thus it requires no X windows to run, but the kernel KMS driver still loaded and performs the mode-setting. This way it's just luck to avoid the mess by KMS and X server. The textmode=1 parameter was filtered by linuxrc as it's not standard kernel parameter but only meaningful to installation system. So in next reboot you end up with yast running on X again and problem recurred. Use NO KMS will use nomodeset which completely avoid mode setting by KMS driver and X from running. And since that parameter is a recognized one by linux kernel (aka not installation system specific) it got carried to final installed system (not filtered out by linuxrc). -- 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.

The textmode setting is passed to yast which adjusts the system config accordingly (like runlevel 3 instead of 5). I don't know if the setting ends up more or less directly in sysconfig somewhere. But it's available in yast at least during install time (via /etc/install.inf). -- 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.
