https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835277 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835277#c0 Summary: During initial reboot after installation, system hangs in step "check installation- Initializing- Preparing initial system configuration" Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 13.1 Milestone 4 Platform: i586 OS/Version: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: f.leerink@xs4all.nl QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 Hello, I tried to install openSUSE 13.1-MILESTONE 4 on a Pentium 4 system.(2.66 GHz and1,5 GB memory) The new install went oke initially but the system hangs during reboot. The system rebooted with the DVD still in the DVD-Drive. I selected boot from hard-disk. I could normally select openSUSE 13.1 and press enter. The system showed the screen with all the installation steps and in the step "check installation- Initializing- Preparing initial system configuration" the system hangs (permanently). Finally I pressed the power button. I retried it with the same result. The only difference was that the system has noticed that the earlier reboot failed and asked me whether I would try it again. I tried it once more in rescue mode with again the same result. Finally, after my evening meal, I tried it once more and the reboot finished succesfull. I could even Set up my wireless network card with a fixed IP address. The only difference with my earlier trials, I could think of, was that I put the rotating cursor on the left dark side of the installation screen. During the succesfull reboot I experienced 2 other hick ups: -- The system reported that the internet test failed, but a few seconds later the internet connection was oke. -- During login in the system reported that Kwin failed and as a result there was no default panel. I added the default panel and could normally work with it. The only effect was that I had 2 default panels after the next reboot. Deleting one of them cured that problem, I can now normally login / logout in the openSUSE 13.1 Milestone4 system. Is there a way to find out what the real problem was, I am prepared to do a reinstallation if needed. Regard, Frans PS This is the same system that has bug 818987 with openSUSE 12.3 but in 13.1-build 4 that problem is solved. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.See description in details 2. 3. -- 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.

New subject: [Bug 835277] During initial reboot after installation, system hangs in step "check installation- Initializing- Preparing initial system configuration"

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835277 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835277#c1 --- Comment #1 from Frans Leerink 2013-08-20 20:23:33 UTC --- Hello, I tried to install openSUSE 13.1/KDE-MILESTONE 4 again, as new install and formatted the / and /home partition on the same Pentium 4 system.(2.66 GHz and1,5 GB memory). The new install went oke initially but the system hangs during reboot. The system rebooted with the DVD still in the DVD-Drive. I selected boot from hard-disk. I could normally select openSUSE 13.1 and press enter. The system showed the screen with all the installation steps and in the step "check installation- Initializing- Preparing initial system configuration" the system hangs (permanently). Finally I pressed the power button. I rebooted with the DVD still in the DVD-Drive. I selected boot from hard-disk. I could normally select openSUSE 13.1 and press enter. This time the system noticed that the earlier reboot failed and ask to retry it and I did a retry. Finally I reached the network config screen and configured the wireless network card with ifup, fixed IP-address and the needed wireless settings. Upon saving the system performed the first 6-8 steps but hang again in step "Activating Network Service" Finally I pressed the power button. I repeated the same steps but this time I clicked "skip network configuration", I skipped also the internet test, looked at the original release notes and let the system configure the hardware. Upon clicking next, clicking Finish and logging in the system displayed the following: ** Starting Yast2 ** Scripts/functions: line 41 /bin/mountpoint No such file or directory redirecting to "systemctl --ignore-dependencies restart network.service" Stopping LSB: Configure network interfaces and set up routing. At this point the system hangs again. Finally I pressed the power button. I have repeated the same steps 6-8 times with small variations, normal boot, recovery boot, with or without skipping the network configuration and with or without the DVD in the drive, but all trials resulted in a hang except the last one. The last reboot was successful. I could configure the wireless network with Yast and the network settings were correctly saved and the network is working. So the installation procedure is unpredictable on my hardware and the installed openSUSE 13.1/KDE-MILESTONE 4 system does unfortunaly not shutdown completely as described bug 818987. In my original bug description I thought that the bug 818987 was solved but with the above described "installation" it is not solved.

I needed to do 2 new installs since the first one failed while I was configuring my wireless network card with ifup, fixed IP-address and the needed wireless settings. in the network configuration step during installation, sothat the system could test the network and obtained the latest release notes. The system noted that the IW package (109.73 kb) had to be installed and during that step I got the following error: UI Syntax error No widget with ID content Check the log file Followed by Abort or Continue Installation. Clicking continue installation resulted in a loop, since the system tries to reinstall the IW Package with the same result as described. Clicking abort installation brought me to a log-in screen without user info ,so I could not log in, only press the power to stop the system. The second install was succesfull. The only difference was that I did not configure my wireless network card during the installation (I skipped that step), but only after the installation was finished and i had restarted the system twice. Unfortunately the bug 818987 is still not solved. Regards, Frans PS During 1st login in, the system still .reported that Kwin closed unexpectedly.

The initial problem is still present, the system hangs in the step "check installation-Initializing-Preparing initial system configuration" the system hangs (permanently). Finally I pressed the power button. I restarted the system after 5 minutes but the same problem occurred. It also tried to restart after a half hour but the same problem happened again. Only if I restarted in rescue mode the system succeded to start up. This time the system shutdown completely (bug 818987) I logged in again - normal mode - and tried to configure with yast the wireless network card with a fixed IP address. Unfortunately the system hangs in the step - Scan network, so i could select the network wanted. I powered off and restarted the system and retried to make the same wireless network configuration resulting in the same hang. I have tried it once more, after I had controlled the currently selected network service (network.service) and I started the network service (systemctl start network.service), with exactly the same problem. In RC1 this network card worked normally and also in 12.3. Should I report this as a seperate problem? The network card is a Realtek Semi Conductor RTL8185 ieee802.11 a,b,g Wireless LAN Controller wlp0s7 with RTL8180 KERNEL DRIVER IN USE, AS WELL AS KERNEL MODULE Regards, Frans -- 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.

The system rebooted with the DVD still in the DVD-Drive. I selected boot from hard-disk. I could normally select openSUSE 13.1 and press enter. The system showed the screen with all the installation steps and in the step "Configure the system automatically" the system hangs (permanently). Finally I pressed the power button. I retried it with openSUSE 13.1 in Rescue mode. The difference was that the system has noticed that the earlier reboot failed and asked me whether I would try it again. I selected YES and than the system continued and I could log-in normally. I noticed that my wireless network card was not configured and tried to do that with Yast, but the network configuration process hangs at point "Search Wireless Networks" regardless whether I had entered search criteria or not. Should I enter a seperate bug forthe network problem ??

One set is used to test systems eg All my comments in this problem note are experienced in this test set.

As others have said, after installing and rebooting it tries to do automatic configuration and if I reply "yes" when it asks if it should configure networking it hangs. I tried again and said "no" to configuring networking and got the system up. I used yast2 to configure wired networking and got all software updates applied. I rebooted and tried to use yast2 to configure wireless networking. The "Scan Network" button causes yast2 to hang. Clicking the close button ("x" in upper right corner) causes a "terminate application" dialog to come up (eventually), but when I confirm that I want to kill it nothing happens. I rebooted and tried to configure wireless networking with yast2 again, supplying "any" as the net name (perhaps not the right thing to do), tried to save the result, and it got stuck at the "update configuration" stage. Again, the close button did not work. I rebooted again. When the system came up I logged in and...nothing. Just the usual background image, but no windows, icons, panel, etc. No response from things like ALT-F2. Cannot ssh into the machine anymore (ssh was working before I started messing with the wireless). By the way, I don't think I managed to get 13.1 to shut down (or reboot) cleanly even once -- I had to resort to holding the power button down until it turned off. When attempting to reboot/shutdown, it sometimes popped out of X-Windows to a text-based login prompt, so I logged in as root and typed "halt" or "shutdown -r now" just to have it hang. I also sometimes (perhaps after hitting CTRL-ALT-Backspace) saw some remnants of it making it through a few steps of shutting down before hanging, including seeing it complain about being unable to unmount the encrypted partition where /home resides.

Could you check whether blacklisting ssb and b43 should suffice? These are known to be broken on certain machines and lead to freeze, while brcmsmac is more stable. BTW, the firmware for brcmsmac is included in kernel-firmware package.

Let me shortly report my findigs: 1.) I had to blacklist all 4 drivers ssb, bcma, b43, brcmsmac 2.) switching off the wlan in the BIOS and softkey when performing the installation did not work. Because I had Ubuntu already installed (and it works fine), my procedure was that before the installation freezes in the installation configuration I used the restart and started Ubuntu. In Ubuntu I accessed the /etc/modprobe.d data from openSUSE and added those drivers into the blacklist. After another restart the configuration initialization worked fine. So, I am happy now that my PC with Windows 7, Ubuntu and openSUSE (with the downside of no Wlan) works fine. BUT, I decide to write this post about the importance of this bug. Lenovo PCs are quite common and my conclusion from pure user perspective is that openSUSE does not work on Lenovo PCs (those which have that Broadcom chip) not even through virtual machines. The very bad thing is that the installation with the official openSUSE .iso which I officially downloaded from the main download page the day before simply freezes in the installation. No display or report, simply nothing at an installation stage where the native user has no access to any incrediants. Honestly, this research where I found this bug report was my last trial before I said that I give up. Give up means that we as a company would not recommed openSUSE to our customers at all. Again, as I said, thank you very much for all the posts, BUT the priority of this bug is not "P3-Medium". Due to the use of that Broadcom chip set in common PCs like Lenovo I strongly recommend to set it to "P2-High" in order to immediately find a solution and update the official .iso which everybody downloads from the main openSUSE site or mirrors. A correction should be made even still for 13.1 and before 13.2. You see that I ran through a lot of frustration, but I hope that with this post I can provide some sense about the importance and can help to get it fixed asap.

You might want to recommend SUSE Linux Enterprise to your customers if you're concerned about stability. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
