Please, remember to put an appropiate subject line next time.
Hi all,
my desktop PC running OpenSuSE 11.0 lost the motherboard so it doesn't finish the boot process properly.
That must be an understatement. Without motherboard I doubt it will even attempt to boot >:-)
So I took the internal hard disk and put it into another desktop computer. It started to boot up magically :-) but then the process said that it couldn't find the disk with SuSE on it...so I was given the option to fall back to another (discovered) device. Answering "y" to continue also ended up with a shell prompt where I could do nothing...
After that I booted from the OpenSUSE 11.0 DVD and run a "Repair System" ... AFAIK with that the boot loader should be fixed and allow me to boot to KDE but it hangs at "Starting MySQL..." :-/
I also guess that I have to run sax2 -r because the new system has a different graphics card... funny enough the YaST2 GUI runs well when in recovery mode...
Yeah, safe mode is supposed to display in any case. You could boot in runlevel 3 (text mode). And you could dissable mysql. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
