[Bug 285523] New: Unable to install openSUSE 10. 3 alpha 5 in X mode on Xen server
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=285523 Summary: Unable to install openSUSE 10.3 alpha 5 in X mode on Xen server Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jharmon@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I am running a Xen Server (SLES 10 SP1 x86_64) and I am trying to install openSUSE 10.3 alpha 5 x86_64 as a paravirtualized DomU on that machine. When I start the install, I receive the error that I either don't have 96 Meg of memory or that it couldn't start X. I know that I have enough memory (have tried 512 and 768) so it must be an issue with starting X. -- 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.

#@DefaultDepth@ This looks strange to me. IIRC this should be
DefaultDepth 16 instead. -- 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.

can you check a 10.2 or sles10 install, if it really can switch from depth 32bit to something else?

This is about color depth, not about cpu types.
Yeah, I don't know why I thought otherwise, I think that I was just caught up in to many things yesterday.
test patch for FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO rpms can be found in http://boettger.suse.de/inst/olh/bug285523/

how do I get the graphical console with the opensuse102 image?
After you start the VM you have to go to View, Serial Console. I have opened one up on that machine. However X is not running, so I hope that you are able to get what you need from the serial console. -- 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.

This seems to be something deep in the kernel, probably fb_set_var(). I should have looked at Olaf's patch before. But since we come to the same conclusion independantly it shouldn't be that wrong. :-)

Please clarify how SLE10's X handles this condition. I'll double check this.

Please clarify how SLE10's X handles this condition. I'll double check this. I was proven wrong and apologize. A lot of things changed in fbdevhw.c between SLES10 (X.Org 6.9) and openSUSE 10.3 (xorg-server 1.3.0.0). Code was reorganized, new checks have been added (among these is fbdev_modes_equal).

(**) FBDEV(0): Built-in mode "current": 28000.0 MHz, 35000.0 kHz, 58333.3 Hz (II) FBDEV(0): Modeline "current" 28000.00 800 800 800 800 600 600 600 600 -hsync -vsync -csync I wonder whether this is a typo in fbdevhw.c:fbdev2xfree_timing()
[...] mode->Clock = var->pixclock ? 1000000000/var->pixclock : 28000000; [...] It looks like it needs to be set in kHz and not in Hz. This code hasn't changed, so this would mean it was broken from the beginning ... Would be good to see a SLES10 Xen-kernel fbdev Xserver logfile to verify this. -- 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.
