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).
Check out your grub menu.lst. It is quite instructive. On mine, it says the differences are: Same kernel framebuffer is normal vga instead of mode 0x31a DMA is disabled for the ide controller APM is disabled ACPI is disabled Resume is disabled edd is off (not sure of that one). Most interesting to note, all but the first 2 will show on your boot prompt, which IIUC, you deleted. Which only leaves one choice, the framebuffer resolution. Perhaps the one in your normal boot line is an unsupported resolution for your video card, and that is the cause of your problem. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
