[Bug 548021] New: 11.2 Milestone 7 won't run on AMD x86_64

ISO burned to DVD. Boot from DVD and expected splash screen is given. Finally selection to boot from hard drive... If ANY option is taken besides boot from hard drive (I didn't test this one), the load fails. This failure is seen by the screen not only going dark, but in my case, the status light to the LCD unit shows loss of signal. IF you select TEXT for the display, a series of modules being loaded shows, and then the whole thing hangs (last 2 modules listed: [ 0.184001] [<ffffffff819d80b0>] kernel_init+0x102/0x15c [ 0.184001] [<ffffffff8100d6ca>] child_rip+0xa/0x20.) I tried again with ACPI disabled and text mode, and sure enough, I am in the text mode of the install, doing an install repair (because 11.1's GRUB got twisted somehow). So a reboot and ACPI only disabled and the full graphics system ran just fine for an upgrade (from 11.1 64 bit). This is interesting in that *All* SuSE installs (32 or 64 from 10.2 to 11.1) along with a few other distros have worked on this system without having to disable anything. Config info: AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 4200+ 896MB Ram ATI RS690 (Radeon X1200 Series) ATI SB600 IDE & Non-Raid-5 SATA Dual 500GB SATA drives (with /home being RAID1) Reason for testing this, problems found with 11.0-1 in the set up of RAID1 while doing install. Seems that GRUB is not correctly configured. As you can see, I didn't get that far this time. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Message is given (I'm copying this by hand): The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 file system. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 file system (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: [etc etc] Yes, I can recreate this at will. It seems that this is a problem when RAID1 is involved. I think this is a show stopper. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

After having the problem of telling the system to start an RC1 and it failing each time, and my default also failing I thought I'd burn an RC2 and test it. At this point I had not tried either of the last two items in the GRUB menu (as listed below). A COLD boot was attempted using the newly burned RC2 system but the DVD was not recognized. So GRUB came up with a list of items: Desktop -- openSUSE 11.2 RC 1 - 2.6.31.3-1 Failsafe -- openSUSE 11.2 RC 1 - 2.6.31.3-1 openSUSE 11.1 - 2.6.27.29-0.1 (default) Failsafe -- openSUSE 11.1 2.6.27.29-0.1 openSUSE 11.1 Failsafe -- openSUSE 11.1 I selected "openSUSE 11.1" in an attempt to go back to the last running system (which was a 10.3 that had been upgraded to 11.1 w/ RAID 1 for /home) and what came up was 11.2 RC1! Seems that the UPGRADE install on RC1 is not correctly configuring GRUB. The 11.2 RC1 that came up needed to have the users redefined, which then connected them immediately to the /home locations (which is correctly, RAID1). So the upgrade misses some configuration items as well. Accordingly I am changing the severity and priority to a lower value. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Everything does not work in this case. Only the install works, to a point. From comment #2 above: "Seems that the UPGRADE install on RC1 is not correctly configuring GRUB. The 11.2 RC1 that came up needed to have the users redefined, which then connected them immediately to the /home locations (which is correctly, RAID1). So the upgrade misses some configuration items as well. Accordingly I am changing the severity and priority to a lower value." Well, the 11.2 final is similar. Note that it took running a 11.1 recovery install to fix things, it was that GRUB's menu is built wrong. Once the 11.1 recovery ran and fixed fstab (among other things), the attempted boot of the 11.2 DVD FAILED to be recognized, causing a boot from the hard drive, which I selected the 11.1 which actually ran 11.2. [from original posting "Reason for testing this, problems found with 11.0-1 in the set up of RAID1 while doing install. Seems that GRUB is not correctly configured. As you can see, I didn't get that far this time."] So I will re-open this, because it is not fixed. It might be time for the decision makers to make the hard decision to rebuild 11.2 with a working kernel. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Boot with kISO and select operation to perform from the boot menu. Boot loader loads kernel and initrd images into memory. 2. Wait until boot loader finishes loading. 3. All the needed contents from the kISO are contained in kernel and initrd images, so kISO can be removed from the drive once boot loader finishes loading. Remove kISO media from the drive and put in release installation media. 4-1. If the release installation media was put in before hardware probe is complete, installation system starts and proceeds the same way. 4-2. If the media was put in too late, linuxrc will complain that it can't find product repository and activate manual setup. Nothing to worry about. You just need to press enter a few more times. Proceed to #5. 5. Make sure the release installation media is in the drive and select language and keyboard map. It will give you Main Menu. Select "Start Installation or System" -> "Start Installation or Update" -> "CD-ROM". All the selections are the default, so just pressing enter several times is enough. linuxrc will report that no update was found which can be safely ignored. Installation continues as usual.

I tried it, it's getting better: the kernel boots with "noacpi", but not without. The kernel recognizes with "noacpi" my sata disk. I did not try the installation completely, just booting until the installation program started. Then I checked manually by fdisk -l from console 2 that the disk is recognized (the original installation disk did not recognize the hard disk). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

No, my issue is not solved. I have upgraded my BIOS and retried.

And I noted when this bug report was opened, OpenSuSE 10.3 - 11.1 32 and 64 bit worked fine. 11.2 64Bit CR1, CR2 and Final do not. I did not try 11.2 32bit as this is now a fully functioning file server and it is set up as a 64bit machine. If you want or need logs from this machine, you will have to tell me how to capture them, because I don't have a USB device to boot and operate from. Also, not that it made any difference, I have also upgraded to 2G of RAM from 1G (which is shared with the built in video adapter). Meanwhile, once the install is complete, the kernel that is installed has the appropriate support for ACPI.

Yes, once it is installed, things ran OK. I say ran, because that machine is now gone. But understand, the install could not be completed with the 11.2 DVD. Once the system was loaded to disk, I had to use an 11.1 DVD to go through the repair steps. Once that was done, THEN the system ran correctly, handling RAID1. I have not seen anything that says that 11.3 has been fixed for this RAID problem (or GRUB, etc.). So I have another system with 8GB RAM and a dual core AMD that is running 64bit 11.2 -- IN PRODUCTION -- but no RAID drives. Once I get everything together for a new server system, I might consider upgrading to 11.3 64bit with RAID 0. But the plans for that are in October at the earliest.
