Hi! My SUSE 10.0 won't work properly when I do a reboot. USB keyboard and mouse won't work, My PCMCIA network adapter lights up but won't do much else... When I reboot from WinXP to SUSE or WinXP, everything works. Rebooting from SUSE to XP or SUSE doesn't work.
SUSE -> SUSE = failure SUSE -> XP = failure XP -> SUSE = success XP -> XP = success
I have tried both with Grub and lilo, with the same results. I have attached "boot.msg" from a "good" and a "bad" boot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I think you have a problem with ACPI The following statements were in your GOOD boot but NOT in the BAD boot: <notice>startproc: execve (/usr/sbin/acpid) [ /usr/sbin/acpid ], [ CONSOLE=/dev/console ROOTFS_FSTYPE=reiserfs TERM=linux SHELL=/bin/sh ROOTFS_FSCK=0 LC_ALL=POSIX INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.85 REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 COLUMNS=158 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/lib/klibc/bin RUNLEVEL=5 PWD=/ SPLASHCFG=/etc/bootsplash/themes/SuSE/config/bootsplash-1280x1024.cfg PREVLEVEL=N LINES=59 HOME=/ SHLVL=2 BOOT_IMAGE=Linux splash=silent SPLASH=yes ROOTFS_BLKDEV=/dev/root _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/usr/sbin/acpid ] acpid: loading ACPI modules ( ac battery button ) done Starting acpid done <notice>startproc: execve (/usr/sbin/powersaved) [ /usr/sbin/powersaved -d -f /var/run/acpid.socket -v 3 ], [ CONSOLE=/dev/console ROOTFS_FSTYPE=reiserfs TERM=linux SHELL=/bin/sh ROOTFS_FSCK=0 LC_ALL=POSIX INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.85 REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 COLUMNS=158 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/lib/klibc/bin RUNLEVEL=5 PWD=/ SPLASHCFG=/etc/bootsplash/themes/SuSE/config/bootsplash-1280x1024.cfg PREVLEVEL=N LINES=59 HOME=/ SHLVL=2 BOOT_IMAGE=Linux splash=silent SPLASH=yes ROOTFS_BLKDEV=/dev/root _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/usr/sbin/powersaved ] Starting powersaved (accessing ACPI events over acpid) done Notice the "loading ACPI modules" and "Starting acpid". I don't think you will find these in the bad boot. You can try turning ACPI off... and booting. That would be acpi=off on the kernel line. But you could also boot with the 'failsafe' mode and see what that gets you. Why it would load in one case and not the other I don't know but I suspect XP has something to do with it. What happens if you boot to SUSE from a turned-off machine?
