Let's assume the issue has been fixed. Otherwise please reopen. BTW, we no longer run sax2 for X.Org configuration during installation right before autoconfiguration since openSUSE 11.2.

And it's not related to the video card because I have replaced the ATI card with a Nvidia one. However, the bug is the same, black screen before autoconfiguration. The monitor is not out-of-range (power led would be amber), it just displays black (power led is green as in normal operation). This time, after pressing [Ctrl+Alt+F1] the installer sensed that it could not start the graphics and offered to continue installation in text mode. I still had to kill that process, because it was not allowing normal graphics to start. -- 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.

This sounds like fbdev driver is no longer working after the kernel has been rebooted with KMS modules (radeon/nouveau depending on graphics hardware) is active. This would be bad. Could you verify that radeon/nouveau module is loaded with lsmod? Is KMS active? Check with 'cat /sys/module/radeon/parameters/modeset' resp. 'cat /sys/module/nouveau/parameters/modeset'.
This can't be the reason on NVIDIA since we do not add nouveau kernel module to initrd at the moment - due to a seperate bug (already tracked). (In reply to comment #7)
The nouveau driver is not used because of something that looks like another bug:
That's a seperate issue, which should be fixed with M5. Here I'm talking about the nouveau kernel module. But as stated above that can't be the reason. -- 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.

Similar for ATI. aliases are missing in radeon module on kernel 2.6.33. So radeon module is not added to initrd with ATI graphics either. -- 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.

I cannot reproduce that issue with a Factory installation (something between M4 and M5) with ATI graphics. Thus closing as FIXED. Please do not reopen this one until you can reproduce the issue with M5. We updated radically X.Org and kernel between M4 and M5, which is likely the reason why it works now. -- 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.
