[opensuse] Booting is just not working...
I have run into a very strange problem.. Hardware: RioWorks HDAMA-G motherboard 2 x Opteron 246 4GB RAM When running with a LSI Logic MegaRAID 320-1 *and* a Adaptec 2820SA RAID adapter, the system runs perfectly fine in all aspects. When I remove the MegaRAID adapter, I can't even boot into Rescue mode from the 10.2 DVD. The DVD starts up, I select "Rescue Mode", and it shows me that the kernel is loading. When it comes to 100%, the screen goes black and nothing more happens. I even let it be for 45 minutes, it never went on. I put the MegaRAID back in, and the system runs fine again. This is spooky.. Oh, when I had the MegaRAID out, I booted with Acronis and PartED magic CDs, both came up just fine, but not any of my tested SUSE disks, I've tried 10.2, 10.0, 9.3, SLSTD8, SLES9, SLES10 and United Linux 1.0. Neither works. Any ideas please? Anders. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Boot without the funky bootsplash. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Text only, nothing happens when I use any of my SuSE CD/DVD's.. I've been running several hardware diag tools, every one reports a fully functional system. Acpi=off won't help. Seems like the only solution is to leave the darn LSI RAID HBA in the box to make it boot, not the optimal solution though, but at least it works... *sigh* Anders. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
