https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=894763 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=894763#c1 --- Comment #1 from andreas bittner 2014-09-03 11:05:40 UTC --- the four entries with 3.16.1 kernel are named twice (desktop) and twice (default) and one of those two groups is additionally called "recovery" or so. none of these entries boot beyond the tree text lines showing that the kernel is starting to load and initial ramdisk after a longer while the machine resets/reboots itself on its own if nothing is being done. i have went into grub2 interactive mode with pressing key "e" on the keyboard and then trying nomodeset or failsafe or noapic anything else to try? any way to fix this disabled system in some way? Mainboard is: ASUS F2A85-M Pro Cpu is: AMD A10-5700 Ram is DDR3 32giga ram (maybe this is a problem? wasnt for opensuse 13.1 x86) any more hints on this? -- 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.
