Can you type in the oops message that you see? Or take a picture of it? Without it, it's going to be very tough to determine what happened here :( Created attachment 110018 [details]

boot messages before reboot
GregKH China team already work with this mother board before. The problem is vary ... and depend on the installation some hardware work ok and the installation is fine. But not all. We have one board connected to different hardware and have different experience, I can't explain why yet. This doesn't make sense. All suggests this is not a kernel issue, but within the bootloader failing to setup the boot process correctly. Re-assigning to grub maintainer. Dear bug reporter / screening team, due to the increasing number of grub "bugs" that are most likely unrelated to grub's basic functionality but nevertheless assigned to me, I took the time to write up some explanations for your kind consideration. Please have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/grub Torsten, the error message in comment #3 and comment #2 comes from grub, so it can't really be a kernel bug (kernel not running yet). So, what's your suggestion about where this bug might linger? I read the link you provided, but I'm still not sure ... Looks like a memory corruption bug. :-(
Jeronimo, if you boot from DVD hold down the SHIFT key while the
bootloader starts.
Answer both questions with 'y'. Then it says:
Initializing gfx code...
mem area 0: number1 - number2
mem area 1: ...
...
Please tell me those two numbers (or just make a screenshot - whatever is
easier for you).
Does it work if you turn off the display size detection (answer second
question with 'n')?
Does it work if you skip graphics completely (say 'n' to the first question)?
Results:
Initializing gfx code...
mem area 0: 0x00053410 - 0x0009f000
Load boot graphics(y/n): n
boot in console mode but the result are the same.
Detect display size(y/n): n
same results
both intent fails. just as in screenshots attachments
If you can't boot even with plain isolinux (I assume 'same results' means comment 4?) there is likely a bios problem preventing the initrd to be loaded properly. Could be the 16MB-hole problem seen in bug 211094. Please check your bios settings. is the same bug(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=211094) disabling the memory hole in the bios settings allow to boot normaly from the dvd. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 211094 *** |
