SUSE 9.3 with A8N hangs on 'probing pci hardware'
Hi, Received a copy of SUSE 9.3 update few days back. Seem to be having tons of problems with it. Doing yast system update from 9.2 system (that worked fine) started failing *random* package installs on the fly. Okay, this may have not been a SUSE bug as i was running 2.6.12-rc2 at the time (had to use mainline kernel as vanilla SUSE kernels did not initialize my usb keyboard on every boot cycle). After giving up with yast system update, i did a 'clean' install (have home et al separated from / from previous experience) with worse luck ever with SUSE. First stage of the install went fine, but after first bootup system hangs completely in kernel initialization. Last message shown on console is: 'PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus 00)' Did try all the known tricks with boot params with no luck, it still wont boot. Tried disableapic, pci=bios, pci=nobios, pci=routeirq, etc. Nothing helps. Any ideas? SUSE folks, in case you are listening, this really should be some of the patches you've applied to 9.3. Vanilla kernels initialize just fine having 9.2 base. Any help appreciated. System is Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, S939 x86-64. Display adapter used is PCI-express based GF6600 from Asus. -- // Janne
