Hello, It might be related to a new harddisk I have added to my system, but I can't grub make to use the correct vga mode any longer sinced about this time. (I'm talking about 64bit openSUSE Factory here.) Usually my vga mode is 31A, which is as it is defined in YaST and in all grub config files I know of. Even the grub output claims that this video mode is passed on to the kernel. However, about two lines later the kernel starts and at once complains that it doesn't know what to do with the vga mode 1F. I have to selected the vga mode 31A manually, then everything boots as expected. I don't have the slightest idea where this 1F is coming from, I simply can't get rid of it!?!??!?!?!?!? mkinitrd, grub-install, yast2 bootloader with all different places I could write the bootloader to - the wrong vga mode 1F stays. device-map is hd1 - /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor (new drive, containing Windows) hd0 - /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG (old drive, containing the SuSE installation working flawlessly before YaST2 proposed me a new grub config in order to boot the new Windows drive, too) menu.lst entry of the defective section is title openSUSE 11.2 Alpha 0 - 2.6.27.10-2 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.10-2-default root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG splash=silent showopts vga=31a initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.10-2-default /etc/grub.conf reads setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0) (hd0,0) setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0,0) (hd0,0) setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0,0) (hd0,0) quit (Why so many entries?) One more remark: The newly added Windows-harddisk already contained a working windows partition, so Windows has not fiddled around with the bootloader, it is all YaST2's problem :(. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
