This isn't about "gee, some new software was buggy? so what? that's unavoidable dummy. welcome to computers." or "that's what the failsafe boot option is for". This is about procedure and totally unnecessary, un asked for, artificially created, actively inflicted problems, due as far as I can see to loss of standards. This particular bug is in a new feature that wasn't asked for and whose purpose is merely the luxuries of increased video performance and fancy graphical display modes on a _text_ console. If the latest kernel had some bug in one of the more basic subsystems, well you can't help that. That can happen any time. You can help the fact that you know these graphics modes don't work everywhere for many reasons:
AFAIK, you can avoid that by adding vga=1 (or whatever mode fancies you). Not sure it's enough to prevent the crash, but it certainly disables the fancy console. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
