Have you checked the iso image and final media? I'm not sure what you mean. I've checked the md5sums of the DVD and CD mini image. Both media work properly in other computers (Intel P4) and the DVD drive in the EPIA can read the media properly when running under 10.0. My assumption is that the boot loader code contains instructions which the CPU on the EPIA board (Centaur VIA Samuel 2 stepping 03) doesn't understand. Today I've tried to start the installation with a boot floppy and there a freeze happens just when the boot loader switches to boot graphics. After figuring out how to prevent the boot loader from using boot graphics, the installation program started successfully. So a workaround for this issue is to hold down any SHIFT key while booting from CD/DVD and choose "n" at the prompt "Load boot graphics (y/n)?". 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 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 231104 *** |
