[openFATE 306324] Improvements to Failsafe mode
Feature added by: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) Feature #306324, revision 1, last change by Title: Improvements to Failsafe mode openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) Description: Currently when kernel fails to load, user can only give up on installing openSUSE. Failsafe mode can help sometimes, but load of kernel parameters can introduce problems later. Knoppix offers alternatives that may work on particular hardware without going trough process of discovery of proper kernel parameters, and it has help pages available right from the boot screen. Both combined make booting possible with very little to no experience in kernel issues. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306324
