[opensuse-factory] M6 locks up Intel on install attempt not addressed on linuxrc page
Is there anything I can try on cmdline other than textmode=1 to prevent lockup on i845G when installation tries to switch to GUI? How do I tell installer on cmdline to use something other than intel driver? I see nothing about this on http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc So far failure using alternatively: vga=0x305 vga=normal modeset=0 sax2=1 failsafe ddc=0 noddc I use Grub to load the installation kernel and initrd from local disk instead of burning isos, and don't see any way to access the files in loader/ to see what the options are supposed to be. Thanks to javier on IRC for reminding me about i915.modeset=0, which works. :-) I added a Modeset section to http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc with the best information I knew. Maybe there's more it should say, and others can update it. -- "Suppos [sic] a nation in some distant region, should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. . . .

Installer uses fbdev as before.

I believe it's easier to use 'nomodeset' than <driver>.modeset=0. Thanks, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)

I routinely forget that, and also forget where to look it up.

Now that I've written it on the Linuxrc wiki page maybe I can remember. :-) -- "Suppos [sic] a nation in some distant region, should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. . . .
