The nomodeset setting was a temporary addition, that I added to the cmdline of the 5.0.x kernel. If that option is absent, then kernel 5.0.x will boot into a black screen, but 4.20.y will not. Adding nomodeset "fixes" the black screen and I actually can get to a TTY, but X will then not start (which makes sense, since KMS is off).
Nevertheless, something (but probably unrelated) is also off with my Xorg config, as I *need* to have xf86-video-intel installed. Otherwise Xorg will not start with a good (=4.20) kernel.
Make sure you either don't have a file like </etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf> or its contents are commented out. Make sure that there is no
Section "SomeDevice" ... Driver "intel" ... EndSection anywhere in the Xorg configs. If there is, replace "intel" with "modesetting".
Make sure xf86-video-intel is uninstalled. Make sure there is no 'nomodeset' on the kernel parameters. Do
# dracut -f
Reboot. If you still cannot get to the graphical target, post the Xorg logs (I don't think you have had). To do so, at boot time edit the kernel command line (you already know how to do this) and append
system.unit=rescue.target Then post the output of </var/log/Xorg.0.log> or </var/log/Xorg.0.log.old>. To know which one, look for a line /var/log/Xorg.0.log which contains the timestamp when the server was attempted to be started. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
