I doubt these messages are related to the hang, but just in case they are - you'd want to blacklist edd.ko (or eliminate whatever leads to it getting loaded; this happening multiple times makes me uncertain where to point you, normally I would have told you to edit INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and re-create the initrd).

Hi Jan I used brokenmodules=edd, which gave an interesting result - on the console, I see one instance of: [ 1.382786] BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 0 devices found [ 1.382815] EDD information not available. but the system still ends up hanging. Without blacklisting 'edd', I get 20-30 repeats of the above, but I agree, it's not likely to be causing the hangup. Ah well, I'll keep looking. thanks Per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Jan

Okay, I'm making a little progress - I added "xencons=tty" to the command line, and the guest now continues wtih dhcp.

Which means the system didn't really hang, you just didn't see it make progress anymore. Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
