EVERY single one of these exhibited the blank screen problem - am I unbelievably unlucky, or is this an unresolved critical bug affecting many machines? In every case, adding 'nomodeset' to the kernel boot parameters worked around it, although I am wondering if there is a more optimal workaround which selects a decent video mode. I tried the VESA option but that didn't help. Happy to provide extra debug if someone can indicate what info is needed. -- 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.

If you still require debug info, please set NEEDINFO to me and I will provide. However, isn't this a duplicate of bug 727978 or even bug 669798? (both of which are still in the NEW state despite being marked as Critical and having duplicates of their own ...) -- 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.
