http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1074068 Bug ID: 1074068 Summary: Loading kernel during installation from DVD locks up the display and system. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: terje@nordland-teknikk.no QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I had Leap 42.3 and Windows as a working dual boot setup on my 2008 old hp8710w laptop (and as most openSUSE versions before that). An old inxi output told: Machine: System: Hewlett-Packard (portable) product: HP Compaq 8710w v: F.0F Mobo: Hewlett-Packard model: 30C3 v: KBC Version 73.31 Bios: Hewlett-Packard v: 68MAD Ver. F.0F date: 11/25/2008 CPU: Dual core Intel Core2 Duo T9500 (-MCP-) cache: 6144 KB clock speeds: max: 2601 MHz 1: 1200 MHz 2: 1600 MHz Graphics: Card: NVIDIA G92GLM [Quadro FX 3600M] Now I wanted a first look at Leap 15.0.0 (alpha) and tried to install it from the current DVD iso as a third boot option on an available partition. I noticed some distorted display graphics and colors during the installation. When I tried to boot the 15.0 installation it would not launch the Gnome logon menu, but locks up before that with a black display. As part of the installation the grub2 bootloader menu didn't include the previous 42.3 and Windows boot options. In my experience this has been relative easy to solve by doing a post "upgrade" from 42.3 installation DVD to get its bootlader installed in place again as a default option. But also now the display continues to go goes black and the system locks up after/during booting the kernel. This happends when the first graphical yast installation screen has passed and somewhere out in the scroll texts (tried both Upgrade, New install and Other option). The only thing that "works" afterwards is the Power Off and On button. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
