When you write "the process fails", do you mean, it gets stuck there forever or it shows an error message (which?) or the system reboots or something else -- 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.

Is it really either 0% or 100% where it fails, never in between? 1) Could you press 'ESC' go to text mode and start from there? Does it work? 2) Could you press 3 times Shift-F10. This will give you an dialog to edit the complete command line as passed to the loader later on. Could you remove the 'initrd' part and boot just the kernel? Does it load and start? 3) You mention you can't boot the recent kernel on an installed 12.3. Which bootloader are you using there? -- 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.

ATM this looks like a BIOS bug to me. This might also be a memory layout issue, as the 13.1 initrd is > 64MB. If your board's e820 map has some holes around 64MB this might cause it. The kernel log might give some hint (or 'journalctl -b' in newspeak). -- 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.

Could you try a current Factory build? There the initrd is again smaller than 64MB. -- 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.

Everything works a treat and now happily running opensuse 13.1. The board causing issues was a Biostar Hi-Fi Z77X, running any version of the BIOS firmware. -- 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.
