Load boot graphics 2. Detect display size * y/y : hang * y/n : reboot * n/X : much better. successfully loads text installation menu. takes a looooooooooong time to load sata_via. Console shows IDENTIFY timeouts and fails to detect attached devices. Installation menu loads but cannot install as drive and cdrom are not detected. This seems to be the infamous via IRQ quirk bug. [Cc'ing Hannes] Hannes, does openSUSE-10.2-Beta1 kernal contain via IRQ quirk fix? If so, this needs to be chased further. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Mine is the Epia M6000. Following the instructions above I was finally able to get Linux installation to proceed by holding down the space key during DVD boot and selecting the text only installation by typing LINUX at the command prompt. Yast graphics is now running and installing the OS. This is new to Suse. 10.0 and 10.1 did not suffer from this.

Like Kevin: "Following the instructions above I was finally able to get Linux installation to proceed by holding down the space key during DVD boot and selecting the text only installation by typing LINUX at the command prompt. Yast graphics is now running and installing the OS." However, it hangs when it reboots after completing the initial install from CD1. (iow, booting from disk the first time). Holding the shift key down I get some debug info from Grub, which goes through a number of stages saying "press any key to continue", but before I see any startup messages from the kernel, the machine resets. Strange considering it was quite stable when installing CD1. I gave up and reinstalled 10.1 as I need this machine to work reliably :-( nemesis:~ # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : CentaurHauls cpu family : 6 model : 7 model name : VIA Samuel 2 stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 533.440 cache size : 64 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 mtrr pge mmx 3dnow bogomips : 1067.99 -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Some clarification too: I have another data point: 10.2 installs and runs no problem on an EPIA M10000 board, which is detected at 'CPU0: Centaur VIA Nehemiah stepping 01' at 1 GHz (at least it runs OK after I updated the board's bios to rev 1.17beta, but that's not your problem). 10.2 installs but fails at first boot from hard disk (as per this bug report), on a lower-powered board, an EPIA 5000 containing 'CPU: Centaur VIA Samuel 2 stepping 03' at 533 MHz. This board does however install and run 10.1 just fine. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I thought the error occurred in a already installed system. But that's not the case if I interpret your initial comment right. So, if there's no installed bootloader at all (besides the one on the installation media), I dare to doubt that it's a perl-Bootloader bug because perl-Bootloader didn't run at this point of time during the installation process.
