Press ESC to show running commands. Here are two situations. If the splash screen disappears, you can see commands and will be able to log into the system. But if the splas screen stays, the login screen appears but you cannot log because the keyboard does not work. The mouse works properly. The only possibility is to shutdown the system using mouse. The problem started after upgrading from openSUSE 10.2 to 10.3 . I think this problem doesn't depend on the X-Window. I have set the default runlevel to 3 and the problem occured too. If the problem occures I was not able to enter username and password at the command line prompt. The boot was successfull roughly in 7 trials of 11 ones in my tests. It is annoying to repeat booting due this problem. The hardware is the notebook Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro V2030, with openSUSE 10.3, with the latest updates. The video driver is OpenChrome. The command "uname -a" gives this output: Linux mlnb 2.6.22.17-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008/02/10 20:01:04 UTC i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux. -- 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 am not a skilled Linux user so please correct my steps to test a new kernel: 1. backup of the filesystem /

This really shouldn't be needed, but of course it never harms :)

...

2. install the new kernel ... #rpm -i kernel-default-2.6.22.18-0.1.i586.rpm

This is correct.

...

Do I have to install the patch input-add-amilo-pro-v-to-nomux.patch ? How to do it?

You don't have to do that, the testing kernel I have built for you already contains that patch.

...

Does the present kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1-default remain in the system after runnig rpm -i ?

It definitely should, but you can easily check to be 100% sure after installing the kernel, that its entry remained in the /boot/grub/menu.lst and that the /boot/vmlinuz-* and /lib/modules files for the old kernel are still there.

...

3. add a new section to the file /boot/grub/menu.lst , for the new kernel, without any boot parameters

It will be added automatically, when you install the RPM.

...

4. run the test

Apparently, Fujitsu-Siemens decided to alter the DMI information for this hardware somehow. Could you please attach output of 'dmidecode', so that I can prepare new kernel for you to test?
