Hey guys, I'm back from vacation (I had no internet access for a few days). On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 09:38:15AM +0200, Jon Clausen wrote:

This is getting me somewhere. I've narrowed down the problem to about 5 possible items. Off the top of my head, they are:
coldplug fbset kbd
Those are hardware related somehow. Your guest is 9.2, which is pretty old, "coldplug" is no longer used. There was a hotplug too, I think, which was run to change usb devices, I think. I don't remember what coldplug was for.

outline some of it.
rcbset I don't have, but it does exist: it is used for frambuffer configuration. I suppose you can deactivate it (chkconfig fbset off).
Another couple of things that might be interesting to consider;
* vga=normal (instead of vga=0xNNN) and no 'gfxmenu' in menu.lst Basically the intention is to eradicate all 'boot' and console 'graphics'.
* init=/bin/bash This boots you straight to a shell, without any of the normal init stuff. I'm not sure if this will be of any use in your specific situation, but thought I'd mention it anyway.
* ACPI/APIC settings?
Given that the system runs for two minutes and then freezes, I'm thinking... udev?
boot.udev wasn't set to start during boot. I changed that, and it seemed to improve things. I'm still getting lockups when running important things (like the network), but I feel like I'm making progres. I'll do some work on it over the next couple days and report my successes and failures. Thanks for the input, everyone. -Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
