[Bug 747968] New: [Intel 865] lost keyboard & black screen at GUI startup unless nomodeset passed to kernel
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747968 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747968#c0 Summary: [Intel 865] lost keyboard & black screen at GUI startup unless nomodeset passed to kernel Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Factory Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mrmazda@earthlink.net QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=476996) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=476996) y2logs I couldn't find any existing bug, relnote or installation instruction specifically about this, only the reference to a possibility nomodeset might be necessary post-installation. I tried HTTP install using a Grub stanza similar to: title Install SuSE 12.2 snapshot kernel (hd0,2)/suse122/linux showopts install=http://download.opensuse.org/factory-snapshot/repo/oss/ lang=en keytable=us hostname=myhost hostip=192.168.1.2/24 gateway=192.168.1.1 nameserver=192.168.1.1 namescheme=by-label kexec_reboot=0 ipv4only=1 noresume video=1152x864 vga=0x318 3 initrd (hd0,2)/suse122/initrd on two different i865 Dell Optiplex machines with same result, both with 12.2M1 and 12.1 on the second machine. IIRC with 12.1M3 or so on one of same two machines this did not happen. It also does not happen on my i845 or i915 Optiplex machines. The only way I found to avoid keyboard lockup/black screen at GUI startup time on the i865 is to append nomodeset to the Grub kernel line. Without it, only the power switch was able to make the machine usable again. nomodeset is not required post-installation using installed kernel-desktop 3.2. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747968 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747968#c6 --- Comment #6 from Felix Miata <mrmazda@earthlink.net> 2012-03-12 17:42:53 UTC --- Isn't the installation kernel nearly always different from the kernel that gets installed, at least using Factory? I made several installation attempts on two different i865 systems, with and without various video= (only works with KMS engaged) and vga= (only works with KMS disengaged) on cmdline. 1152x864 (gets me the VC lines and rows I prefer) just happens to be part of most/all of the installation start parameters I ever use, easier to remember to subtract from the Grub line than to add. The attached logs' y2start.log contains vga=0x318 but no video= on cmdline, but from a successful installation due to using nomodeset. So, check 'video=1152x864' how? It works as expected post-installation. I have no idea where to begin to collect logs from a so early frozen installation attempt. -- 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.
