Has anyone else had this problem? I did check the md5sum. It was a match.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but with my technical support hat on, have you tried the article relating to this problem in the sDB? http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Black_screen_after_installation_startup I that does solve it, it might be an idea to report back. This is a problem that use to come up a lot a few years ago. Not so much any more but if somethings going to cause it to reemerge it's ugly head then I hope we can kill it before it goes into general cerculation.

Hi!

- Alpha1 was released on friday and looks like most people consider green installers more user friendly :) - we're down to under 100 failing packages, steadily declining - ppc factory has finally a starting yast again, unfortunately it still has many problems the other archs do not see - tried to setup a daily factory kiwi live CD, but failed - qt 4.4 snapshot went into factory that should make yast much faster

Surely something I forgot, so please ask :)

Greetings, Stephan

Yes, the green is a very nice touch. (Noticing the beginning of installation).

I just burned 11 Alpha 1 and tried to install but in the beginning where it loads the kernel, it takes a very long time compared to normal and then when the kernel is 'loaded' my screen goes blank and my hard drive and cd drive cease to function. I've never had this happen before.

Oh, thanks! (Noob here) I never expected to see that graphics issue again since I last tried Debian. But w/ Debian the screen was all garbled, not completely blank and no hdd activity. I'll give that a shot. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Black_screen_after_installation_startup - I think that was the correct document. That very well could be the issue. I'll report back.
