Can you try to add them to the default kernel one-by-one until it starts booting so that we can find which parameter fixes the booting issue for you? -- 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.
