It happened using grub1 with an install of Beta1 from the KDE live iso. And it also happened using grub2 with an install of Beta1 from the DVD. Both were 32 bit installs. I did not know about control-f1. My workaround was to change "splash=silent" to "splash=verbose" in the menu.lst (for grub1) or the grub.cfg (for grub2). The symptoms: The screen goes blank during boot, before asking for luks key. Typing the key on the blank screen does not help. Going to verbose mode allows the prompt for key and things work properly. In my case, this was with an encrypted LVM. I expect the same problem would occur with any prompt during the "initrd" stage. Note that bug 760352 might be the same problem. -- 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 had to change it in /etc/grub2.cfg because changing it in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader does nothing (another bug). -- 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.

Did you check the wikipage for more information ? I know that when using a NVidia card, that a vga=xxx parameter should be given to initialize the KMS correctly. -- 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 do not use the binary drivers, I use nouveau. What vga param mode should I use ("ask" no longer works)? -- 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.
