A few days ago my friend's workmate bought a cheap, new MEDION Laptop at Hofer/Aldi. They both (my friend and his workmate) do not use openSUSE, they use other OSes.
It was absolutely impossible to boot+install their favorite Linux with kernel older than 4.19. They finally tried a distro with this newer 4.19 kernel (I think it was MX Linux, coming with kernel 4.19.
So my initial assumption, that the problems are caused by the ancient default kernel in Leap 15, is hereby confirmed.
Your message sounds somewhat confusing. Did they try to install openSUSE Leap 15 or not?
If not then you still don't have a proof that Leap 15 does not run on this hardware because Leap's kernel-default contains *many* backport patches.
Ciao, Michael.
I see nothing confusing here. I simply told that other distros (with older initial kernel _also_had_ ttroubles on this new hardware. (As I had with openSUSE Leap 15, which - iirc - starts up with 4.11 or 4.12 .) But of course, before making a unofficial ISO with 4.19 and simply let some people test it (I offer my help in this point), it is much easier to do nothing and wait if the problem solves by itself. ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
