I have a dual-Opteron box that refuses to boot unless I specify:
console=ttyS0,115200,8n1 ... The graphics device is: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Rage XL PCI
Hi Per,
Is this a production box? How did the problem manifest itself, i.e. 'out of the blue' or has other work been done on it? Are the graphics on-board or is this an add-on card?
Hi Carl
it will become production, but for now it's in test. Using "console=ttyS0" to stop the boot-up from touching the graphics is sufficient as a work-arond. The problem was first seen during installation. It's an on-board graphics card.
Is it a used board? Could someone have disabled the onboard graphics and installed an add-on card that's since been pulled? All the threads I've found discussing that device relate to problems with X, not during boot.
It's a second hand server, the graphics can't be disabled :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
