Hello
I can not install Leap 15.0 (openSUSE-Leap-15.0-DVD-x86_64.iso downloaded today) on a friend's old Asus X53S laptop. This was a bit unexpected because the machine was running a dual boot setup Win7 / openSUSE-42.1 that I installed a few years ago. A sticker on the laptop sayes that it has a "GEFORCE GT540M CUDA 2GB" card.
The installation of Leap 15.0 stops abruptly at boot menu right after I select "Leap 15.0" to initiate the installation : Loading initial kernel... Loading initial ramdisk...
I tried hitting 'e' at the boot menu screen at the beginning of the Leap 15.0 installation and then scrolling down to the line that begins "linuxefi" and adding "nomodeset" at the end..
Existing line was : linuxefi /boot/x86_64/loader/linux splash=silent I added nomodeset like this : linuxefi /boot/x86_64/loader/linux splash=silent nomodeset
I would use "splash=verbose" instead. Maybe you get some message that way. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
