This is because installing with "acpi=off" has caused this parameter to be copied to the grub2 command line. If you press "e" to edit the grub2 command at boot time and remove "acpi=off", then press ctrl-x to boot, you'll find it will work OK. The catch is that this is not a permanent change - you'll need to modify the grub2 default configs and rebuild the boot configuration for the change to stick. Unfortunately this is nowhere near as easy as editing menu.lst any more. :-( I did it but I can't remember exactly what I did now. Others may be able to help, or if all else fails there is google. Sorry I can't be more specific on that point. I know it is frowned upon but I may have even hand-edited the relevant grub2 config file in /boot/grub2. That is not the kosher way to do it and if you do it that way, next time you update the kernel and the grub2 configs are rebuilt your changes will be lost. I just can't remember off the top of my head which file(s) needed to be edited to fix it and make it stick. There was a bug report about this and I'm pretty sure I commented on it with more details. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=794889 Regards, Rodney. -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
