I have just tried to install opensuse 12.3 on a Sun Ultra 20 that had previously been running 11.0 I think. The install seems to go without problem until it gets to the part where it reboots after copying the packages. The boot usually gets to this point and hangs:
found a linux console terminal on /dev/console
Among problems, frequent are those related to graphics hardware support. To check is that the case start computer and on a boot screen just press "e" to edit highlighted item. When you see new screen it should be the one where you can edit boot parameters. Read instructions below editing field. Find line starting with "linux" and append to the end "nomodeset". Boot. Note that line might be wrapped so end could be in the next line. It is in any case above line starting with "initrd". If you get yast to continue its work, then it is really graphics hardware problem. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
