https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244448 Summary: GRUB graphical menu partially hangs; text mode works Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: fkamogee@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de I have an older machine which was just upgraded with a SATA controller and disk. I moved my openSUSE 10.2 installation to the SATA disk, and all is fine except for this. The graphical menu has three problems: -The default selection with timeout does not work. The menu does not hang completely (I can make a selection and boot), but it never boots automatically. -The animated parts get stuck almost immediately. -If I press ESC to drop to text mode, there is a message dialog, and when that is dismissed, it just hangs. When the gfxmenu is disabled entirely, text mode properly boots the default selection with timeout, and the other two problems are irrelevant. So obviously that is a usable workaround. I tried re-installing grub, both by the command line and by YaST, neither helped. Moreover, the behavior exhibited by the 10.2 DVD is even worse. IIRC, it is completely unusable. I have to prevent it from loading the graphical menu at all, which I did by mashing keys (I think F8 is the one that worked). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
