[Bug 731595] New: Can't boot kernel desktop
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731595 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731595#c0 Summary: Can't boot kernel desktop Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: joachim@tantallon.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=463056) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=463056) hardware specs User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/535.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/15.0.874.121 Safari/535.2 After install I can't boot the installed kernel-desktop. The PC crashes directly after the kernel is loaded. If I add 'nolapic' I can boot into KDE4 and have a usable system. However, only one of my CPU cores will be used. If I add 'acpi=off' or 'nomodeset' to the kernel options I can also boot into KDE4, but the wrong graphics driver will be loaded (has to be 'intel', loads 'vesa', I think) and leaves me with a screen resolution of 1280x900 instead of the native 1440x900. Both solutions aren't optimal. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE 12.1, Kernel-desktop is automatically installed. 2. a. Boot without kernel options. b. Boot with 'nolapic'. c. Boot with 'acpi=off' or 'nomodeset' 3. a. Freeze after kernel is loaded. b. Boot with right gfx driver but can only use one cpu core instead of two. c. Boot with wrong gfx driver but can use both cpu cores. Actual Results: See Above. Expected Results: Should boot with two cpu cores usable and correct gfx driver. The system is a Dell Inspiron 1525 with 4GB RAM. Further hardware specs as an attachement above. -- 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.

From my experience the most straightforward way to do that is to download the kernel RPM and use "rpm -i" to install it.
