Adding "nomodeset" on boot line does not help. Nor does "dis_ucode_ldr".
tks,
see here for fix, https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1017783
tks, but bad news. Install failed for me, boot msg (from memory): Loading initial ramdisk ... error: you need to load the kernel first. and from lack of attention and old force of habit, I installed the 4.9.2 kernel with rpm -Uvh and it removed my other kernels. I have no idea about the error "you need to load the kernel first". I thought zypper/rpm handled all of that. luckily, one of my btrfs snapshots recovered my system to 4.8.14, albeit several packages to upgrade. tks -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
