Hi everybody, some time ago I had quite much problems, getting openSuSE 13.1 running on a THinkPd X60s. The last days, I had an other X60s I installed with 13.1, mostly the same specs including CPU, graphics and SSD, didn't checked which wifi is in and I installed with a newly created USB-stick instead of using a DVD.
I'm trying to install openSUSE 13.1 on a ThinkPad X60s (CoreDuo, Intel 950 graphics, Intel 3945ABG wifi, SanDisk 128GB SSD).
The installation goes through mostly fine, all hardware is detected correctly but I'm not able to establish a wifi-connection (shows SSIDs fo available APs, but does not get an IP), so I went for cable to finish the installation including all updates. I didn't tried this, I just connected a cable, so no problems here.
On next reboot, it takes quite long (>60s) to go over the Grub showing the boot menu and the system is not booting into runlevel 5 at all, last message seen is "Started SuSEfirewall2 phase 2". But this one I have in exactly the same manner, even after the latest "zypper up":
I power on the laptop, BIOS shows up, I see "GRUB loading, Welcome to GRUB" (sometimes for less than a second, sometimes the whole minute) and around a minute later I get the SuSE-bootloader to start the system. And after booting, I still get the same last message in the console, without XFCE (I'm using as default desktop) will ever come up. But I can change to an other console, login as root, I can start XFCE with "startx" and everything seems to be fine. I have my "Network_Manager-Applet" (v0.9.8.4) in the taskbar and it finds my wifi.
I can get over the "Started SuSEfirewall2 phase 2" if I switch the network from NetworkManager to ipup, but then I'm not able to get a Wifi Finally the second problem could be "solved", by removing the NetworkManager from the services, rebooting the laptop and starting it manually from a terminal with "service ... start". After adding the NetworkManager back to the services, now the system comes up including wifi - no idea what this caused :-(
But the boot-delay is still there, always around a minute and I have no idea what the reason for this can be and how to solve it. Normaly a SSD should be quite fast in this ... Any ideas?
