This is going to be hard to diagnose. Can you retry install via a serial console (text mode install or vnc=1) and specify console=ttyS{x},{speed} as an argument when you boot the initial install system. -- 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.

If I hard reset/boot the install will complete the final stage anyway thanks to good old robust suse Linux. However the next phase will complete if I wait until the HDD diode ceases to blink which is about 10 minutes because the screen is kaput-fluey and I can't see what is going on I then issue 2 ctlr+alt+backspace wait 10 seconds then ctlr+alt+delete then 2-3 down arrows. The PC boots up fine as if the bug never happened. If I reset/boot the PC before the HDD diode stops blinking then I get grub errors or who knows what error message depending on where I interrupt the second or final stage. -- 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 a "nomodeset" workaround that is documented in the 12.1 "most annoying bugs" documentation. As far as I can determine, there is no kexec failure per se.
Correct. Doesn't appear to be kexec related. Rather kms. I've not had any reports of the issue repeating in 12.2 or 12.3. Closing. -- 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.
