--- Comment #38 from Vance Baarda
Obviously only happens with broken PXE installations (missing vga parameter). Can't this be finally fixed by the admin? I'll see whether I can reproduce this with a local DVD install. Not sure what you want to reproduce. A local DVD install sets the vga parameter, so fbdev will be in use and you already told me that you can't reproduce the problem with a local DVD install.
With my network install, I chose VESA. With my local DVD install, I didn't change the video setting -- I left it at 1024x768. (I know -- bad me. I didn't remember what I had done on that first install screen.) This time, I'm trying a local DVD install after switching video to VESA using the drop-down list on the first install screen.
Of course you can also unset the vga parameter with a local DVD install and then run into the same problem as with the PXE installation.
I'm not unsetting any params -- I'm just using VESA instead of 1024x768. Install is progressing at the moment. -- 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.
