http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593325 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593325#c1 --- Comment #1 from Philippe De Muyter 2010-04-02 15:38:59 UTC --- Well, currently I have no reliable kernel installed on that laptop. When the installer tries to reboot with the installed kernel, the boot attempt fails. The only way to make it sometimes succeed is with acpi=off, acpi=ht or pci=noacpi, but that does not garantee succesfull boot, and the rest of the installation than fails midway. The only reliable kernel I have is the one of the installation disk. Because of that, I can currently not reliably boot into a linux environment enabling me to recompile a kernel. Can you look at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593325 so that I at least can compare dmesg's output between failed and successfull boot attempts. I'll try to work with the installation kernel either in rescue mode or installed on the hard disk and see what I can do. I am adding some other logs of boot attempts with various acpi-related parameters to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15665 -- 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.

but in tty2 of the installation kernel, using dmesg, I can only get the tail of the kernel log, not the beginning of it. I would like to save it to a USB key for inspection reporting and comparison with the kernel log of the installed kernel.

If I'm not mistaken, the log is stored to /var/log/<something> and kernel buffer cleared after that. So with dmesg you then see only the tail. This is a question for installation maintainers. -- 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.
