If it was correct in graphics, can you attach the installation logs (if they are from Alpha2, it is fine as well) -- 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.

Anyway, it seems to be a framebuffer initialization problem, maybe a BIOS problem... -- 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.

I installed opensuse 3 times. One time the dvd showed the splash screen, the other times did not. I tried few times after the installation and the splash screen does not show. 2. I tried to boot with and without the dvd in the tray and it does not make much difference. 3. The only thing that is predictable is the usb HD. If I turned off the splash screen works as expected, if it is on it does not. 4. I tried different values for the framebuffer initialization with the same results. I doubt is a BIOS problem. 5. A user in one of the forum (loni nix) gave me the following tip "Sounds like the usb drive is being enumerated before the sata drives, causing the drive ID's to shift." That seems to be a good path. 6. As I said, this has only happend with v 11.0.

But you are the expert here, so please re-assign accordingly if 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 I use the usb connector you get the behavior discussed above 2. If I use the firewire connector everything works well and the splash screen shows as well as the resolution as set in grub. -=terry=- -- 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.
