[opensuse] more Tosh troubles
Hi Well yet more trouble with this Toshiba A30 Laptop . Having not been able to solve the first problem he went for a complete reinstall now comes the first reboot the system just sits there sayin "Setting Clock to Hardware Clock" it will sit there for sometimes a few seconds right thru to just hanging there this is only on the first reboot after initial install (the automated reboot) . Once you get it past that it will only boot up in safe mode until you have completed everything then it will come up fully with no problems Toshiba Satelite A30 Intel 855GM graphics 512Mb Ram P4 2.8Ghz Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 2 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.30-rc6-git3-4- default KDE: 4.2.86 (KDE 4.2.86 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090514)) "release 1" 11:21 up 8 days 2:04, 4 users, load average: 0.14, 0.19, 0.44

Hmm Pete, I've been running Toshiba's since 2004 with suse and 11.0 was the only release I had an install issue with. My boxes had ATI graphics cards in the (so they are SOL laptops), but I don't see the graphics card as being the issue. The only thing I can think of is that NTP is doing something to cause a failure that flips you into safe mode. You might want to boot to administrator mod and then take it to runlevel 3 & 5 manually with 'init 3' and 'init 5' to see if you can drill down the cause. Toshibas have served me well. I still run my P35 and 205d. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hi David Well we got it to install eventually with noacpi acpi=off We still get the "Setting Clock to Hardware Clock" line but if you wait 2 mins or so it does now boot thru most of the time every now and then the only way to get it to boot is to bring it up in safe mode close down again then reboot and normally it will play the game i am beggining to think it may be an intermittent hardware problem of some kind 10.3 and 11.1 seem ok thou so it is still a mystery we also have an issue with using an USB modem dongle causing a kernel loop condition so all in all a bit of a rouge machine i think ..
