Just installed 10.2 om my test box and all appears to be OK, except that from a normal boot the KDE GUI does not display. However if I boot in failsafe mode with all boot options removed (except init 5) the display works perfectly. Can any one tell me what the difference is between Failsafe with all options (eg. acpi=off, etc) removed and a normal boot?
OK it appears that this info is not generally known. My searches so far have turned up zip. Can anyone suggest a possible source of info about the Failsafe boot mode. Not just the boot options (eg. acpi=off, etc).
On my 10.2 system, in both cases (normal and failsafe) the kernel and the initrd are the same, so the difference has to be in the options. BTW, how can I (or anyone) tell the difference between something invisible? ;-) I mean: why don't you cut & paste GRUB's kernel lines of your normal and your failsafe with removed options?
