Hi, friends,
Introduction: Bought a new laptop Asus PL30JT-RO030X - unfortunately only with Win7PRO :-(.
Wanted to install openSUSE 11.2 and failed at 1st because of a too slow external DVD drive (via USB). With a more modern drive I'd success (BIOS has recognized the drive) and the installation went on without hickups.
Problem: Trying to boot the installed system initially it goes as usual (I see the kernel messages during boot flying over the screen).
But then - when it comes to the graphical login - the screen goes dark and NOTHING more is happening :-(
Analysis: Succeeded in booting a live UBUNTU and could save some logfiles to a stick. I see some error messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log which hardens my suspects it could be a matter with the graphics.
Unfortunately I'm (not yet) fit enough to interpret those error messages good enough.
The Xorg.0.log and some more logfiles can be found at http://www.blaettner.com/Computer/ - I didn't want to make this mail unnecessarily fat.
Some data of the laptop: CPU: Intel Core i5 processor 520UM (1,06 GHz) Number of Processor Cores: 2 Frequency: 1066 MHz Memory: 4096 MB (DDR3-1066) Chipset: Intel HM55 Express Grapics Chip: NVIDIA GeForce G310M (memory 1024 MB) Display: resolution 1366x768 pixels
Questions: - Where/how can I change something to adapt the system appropriately before booting? - Are there boot parameters to clean up this problem?
Help !!!!
Thanks in advance for Your efforts and suggestions!

Rolf, Try adding vmalloc=128MB to your grub command line. If that doesn't work, increase it to vmalloc=256MB and try again. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
