Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot into Failsafe -- openSUSE 12.1 - 3.1.9-1.4. Actual Results: 1. showopts apm=off noresume edd=off powersaved=off nohz=off highres=off processor.max_cstate=1 x11failsafe The system enters run level 5. After displaying the log-in prompt in console, the screen goes blank black and the keyboard is dead. There is no visible activity. Expected Results: 1. I would say, fail-safe boot should enter run level 2. Workaround: append "acpi=off". -- 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.

I'm afraid that acpi=off will render most systems completely unusable, so we can't add it to the generic failsafe. Is there a particular problem you were debugging that required failsafe mode? That's what we should address. -- 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.
