I have tried Installing opensuse 11.3 m7 on HP Pavilion DV7-2230sa. Broadcom Wireless / ATi Radeon Graphics / Intel Board First I tried the x86-64bit DVD - I am greeted with a preboot menu asking me which hardprofile it should emulate two identical versions are presented, option 0 takes me to the standard dvd boot menu, option 1 freezes the system. So from Option 0 - Installation - Language and locale: English UK, Installation Source CDROM, Resolution 1024*768. System starts to boot but freezes at the point Starting UDEV. Repeated reboots always freeze at the same point. So for the 32bit DVD. Directly into the boot menu with no emulation required, Installation with English UK Language and Locale, Installation Source CDROM and Resolution 1024*768 as before. Installation progresses perfectly all packages and features installed - system prepares for first boot. System freezes at Detecting Hardware, Configuring Drivers. The only way i can get the live system to boot is to use acpi=off. I had much the same issue with opensuse 11.2 and should have reported a bug six months ago but didn't. Apologies. to make things more confusing the laptop worked first time with ubuntu 09.10. what are the boot options for the 32bit DVD installation grub menu entry? How do they compare with the same boot options in the 64bit dvd? and During installation, what options are placed into the live grub boot menu and how does this compare with the menu options on 32bit dvd?
