For those folks who, like me, had continual hangs while booting the x86 KDE4
live CD, never getting to a desktop or a console prompt; gathered from various
threads at opensuse sites, and amplifies a bit the instructions in post #3
above:
1. at boot time, select “text” via the F3 options (not vesa, or resolution,
etc)
2. when console/terminal prompt comes up, enter “root” (no quote marks, no
subsequent password.
3. at command prompt, type “cd /etc/init.d” (no quote marks)
4. at next command prompt, “nano earlyxdm” (ditto)
5. find the “Should-Start” line, and add “haldaemon” at the end of it, behind
“firstboot”, leaving a space between the words.
6. save the file (CTL+O, I believe, and use the same file name, i.e.,
overwrite)
7. exit nano (CTL+X, I believe)
8. back at command prompt, type “insserv” (no quote markes)
9. lastly, type “startx” (ditto) … and then wait quite a while while the
graphical KDE4 desktop loads.
You can use RandR utility (if needed) to change the resolution after desktop is
loaded.
You have to do all of the above each time you boot from the M5 live CD, unless
they come out with this fixed in M6, or (I suppose), you install to HDD. Or,
you are adept at fixing the .ISO image to reflect the change needed above in
the “earlyxdm” file.
