The initial phase of installation works fine. After the prompt to reboot, the system restarts, however, when it starts the X server the screen is blank and does not respond to keyboard or mouse. I tried: 1) ctrl-alt-del 2) ctrl-alt-backspace 3) ctrl-alt-Fx (x=1-9) with no response. Rebooted and tried several times. I was able to hit ctrl-alt-f2 several times just prior and during startup of the xserver (after the Knetwork script ends) and it dropped to a console. I copied /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to xorg.conf.debug (attached for your reference).
From there I ran sax2. This started successfully, so I ctrl-alt-f7 to the X display.
The install screen (at set the root password) was showing with message "3D acceleration not supported" Video card "NVidia Quadro NVS 140M" was correctly identified and set to 800x600. I hit ok and saved config. I was able to continue the install to completion. However, when system reboot, it dropped to runlevel 3 and I had to set to 5 in /etc/inittab. Also, it autologs in as user 'linux' which I didn't create. This may just be part of the build as I have not installed factory before. Hope this bug can be fixed and reporting it helps you guys and the 11.0 quality. openSUSE is a great operating system. Thanks so much for your work on it development team.
