[Bug 756275] New: System with an INTEL (D)N2800 ITX motherboard can not boot
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=756275 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=756275#c0 Summary: System with an INTEL (D)N2800 ITX motherboard can not boot Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: richard.bos@xs4all.nl QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/15.0.846.0 Safari/535.1 SUSE/15.0.846.0 It is not possible to pass the first graphical boot screen on a (D)N2800 low power fanless INTEL motherboard This makes openSUSE for this motherboard useless, and therefor the system is more or less useless. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Get openSuSE KDE live image from: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.2-Milestone2/iso/ In my case openSUSE-KDE-LiveCD-Build0258-x86_64.iso but the same happened with older images. Write it with imagewriter to a USB stick. Put USB stick in system with N2800 motherboard. At the very first graphical screen where one is presented to boot from harddisk or the live KDE image from USB stick, the system no longer respond to the keyboard. CentOS seems to be able to boot on it, see this recent article: http://www.linuxtech.net/reviews/intel_DN2800MT_cedarview_atom_power_draw.ht... With the help from the above mentioned article I'm able to get the system more or less booted,using an PXE boot and using the video=LVDS-1:d kernel line. This brings me into the "old" graphical system installer. At some point I'm able to configure the install server, either NFS or HTTP, but neither of the two is able to pass this point, as the system is not able to detect an openSUSE repository. It looks like, that no packages are transferred from the N2800 motherboard. I still did not figure out, how to change a USB live iso image (to add the kernel option video=LVDS-1:d to it). I can mount the iso image, copy the structure, change the kernel option, but I don't know how to make a bootable USB image out of that. Sofar I don't have a usefull system :( Actual Results: On the first graphical boot screen (where one can select to start from harddisk, or to start the live KDE image) the system is completely stuck. No responds at all on the keyboard. It is not possible to use the arrow keys to select the failsave image to boot. Expected Results: The system should boot and be able to pass the graphical boot screen According this article: http://www.linuxtech.net/reviews/intel_DN2800MT_cedarview_atom_power_draw.ht... CentOS can boot from it, according to above article. It would be very good it this can be fixed for openSUSE_12.1 -- 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 the "video=LVDS-1:d" option not helping anymore?
That was used on Mageia and Meego, it was not yet used on openSUSE. The video=LVDS-1:d is part of kernel boot parameters, and indeed it does not help :( -- 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.

/me wondering if openSUSE supports GPT?
Could you try install bootloader to mbr if GPT partition table used? Selecting to install on boot sector simply fails because of generic mbr boot code doesn’t know about GPT table (and mbr is transmuted to **protective mbr** that is msdos table is modified by gpt tools to single partition that encompass size of entire disk, this is intentional according to GPT spec to secure the entire disk from damaging by gpt-unaware tools). Btw, you could add kernel parameters on isolinux/syslinux/grub's gfxmenu, there they offered text input for kernel parameters right after "Boot Options" label .. (although we knew that vga=LVDS-1:d magic not rescue the system anymore .. this is JFYI) HTH. -- 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.

Michael, I opened a separate bug report for the bootloader problem. The bug id is #757502. I'll copy you're comment to there.
Thanks. But I think the bug is reported before .. it's no harm to file more as this push people to fix harder. :) I am just in case that it takes your time doing this.
I add kernel parameters in the grub menu (in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. I hope that is what you mean with grub's gfxmenu). I use video=LVDS-1:d, but you
No. I meant that you could directly add kernel parameters on (graphical) boot menu (either syslinux/isolinux and grub offered the capability). This allows you to test kernel parameters on the installation media (dvd/usb .. even they are readonly) directly without resorting to pxe boot ( I read from your report and not sure whether you setup pxe is only for the purpose of testing the kernel parameter .. this is not necessary but I may be wrong on understanding your intention, so Just For Your Information. )
use vga=LVDS-1:d. Should I use the latter?
This is my typo. Please don't waste time trying it. :) -- 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.

There is no openSUSE-12.2 bug yet (I searched only for 12.2 bugs, hence I did not find earlier reported bugs).
I add kernel parameters in the grub menu (in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. I hope that is what you mean with grub's gfxmenu). I use video=LVDS-1:d, but you
No. I meant that you could directly add kernel parameters on (graphical) boot menu (either syslinux/isolinux and grub offered the capability).

I can't resort to the graphical boot menu, as the system does not want to start / boot from USB stick, external USB drive or a temporarely connected SATA DVD drive. It is impossible to see what goes wrong, but the result is, that only a network install is possible :( -- 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.

From that moment on the system looks normal.

From the separate 4.7gb DVD on a usb, the hard drive installation routine finished ok, but then on first boot of the system from the hard drive had no video after the grub screen. Tried to add "video=LVDS-1:d" to the grub options screen, but did not work. The grub instructions were much longer than I've seen on other installation, so not even sure where in the list to put the grub instruction. Tried several different things, none worked. The boot loader was text-based, not graphical, so maybe that indicates something didn't install ok.

Does this still happen on a later openSUSE? 12.2 is a long time in the past, the hardware in question may now be supported better by later versions of the Linux kernel.
I believe OpenSuse 13.1 works normally on the Cedar Trail motherboard. Not using that device presently, remembering back a few months. -- 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.
