I don't know whether exactly "this" happens, but I cannot boot the 64 bit system with the 11.0 Beta 2 KDE4 life CD either. Attachments #4, #5 and #6 are screen shots from trying to boot the system with standard settings (Screens 1, 3 and 4). It stops with "Failed to detect CD drive". Attachments #7, #8 and #9 are screen shots from trying to boot the system with safe settings (Screens 1, 3 and 4). The system hangs with failing to modprobe my SCSI card. I also tried the i368 life CD - it also fails with the CD drive but seems to have no problem with the SCSI card. This CD perfectly boots on my old 32 bit system. In the meantime I also downloaded the X64 installation DVD of 11.0 Beta 2 and gave it a try. The behavior is somewhat different than with the CDs: Installation with standard settings: Linuxrc crashes, see screenshots 12, 13 and 14 Installation with NO ACPI option : the same symptoms as described for 10.3, i.e. in most cases it hangs at "Load basic drivers", see screen shots 15, 16 and 17 - in some cases (approximately every tenth try) it boots to the installation menu, however, there are still manx segfaults in the logs, see screen shots 18, 19 and 20 Created attachment 214236 [details]

This looks like corrupt media perhaps? At any rate, the segmentation faults in the dmesg are the kernel reporting userspace crashes, not kernel problems. Bumping back out to be rescreened. it's udev that crashes In the meantime I replaced my Mainboard by a MSI K9N Neo-F V3 with NForce 560 chipset, latestBIOS version 2.6. Originally the behavoiur was the same. After playing with BIOS settings I found out that enabling HPET in the BIOS makes it safely boot into the installation system if all USB devices are disconnected. We have no other reports like this, so I guess it was a unlucky hardware/kernel combination, or a hardware failure. The last comment seems it can be worked around, even when it's sub-optimal. I doubt there is anything we can do. Close this as wontfix. Thanks! If you can test an openSUSE 11 installation, it would be nice to hear how it compares to 10.3. I tried 11.0 and reported the result as Bug 406636 As you will see the behaviour is somewhat different but still has problems. |
Created attachment 192903 [details] Segfault when booting into 64bit installation system The Installation of the 64bit version of openSUSE 10.3 from the purchased DVD fails. Installation of the 32bit system from the same DVD works on the same hardware (with boot option "hwprobe=-isa" to avoid system freeze in the second installation step). Hardware: Mainboard - MSI K9N Neo-F V2, NVIDIA Nforce 520, BIOS V2.3 Processor - AMD Athlon64 X2 5200+ Memory - 2x 2048MB Mushkin SP2-6400, CL5 Disk - 2x Samsung HD501LJ 500GB 7200, 16 MB Cache, SATA DVD ROM - LG GDR - H20N, SATA DVD RAM - LG GSA - H66N, SATA Display - MSI NX8600GT-T2D256EZ, NVIDIA 8600GT, 256MB, PCI-Express Symptoms: In 9 out of 10 attempts booting into the 64 bit installation system fails, either with a segfault or system hang at "Loading basic drivers", see attached photos. "Safe settings" does not help. In about 1 of 10 cases the installation system boots beyond these points and the graphical installation menu appears. However, during installation of the packages from DVD numerous "integrity check" failures appear. Small packages install with one or 2 retries, bigger packages always give an "integrity check" failure in many retries. Of course, I tried with both DVD. Replacement of the Mainboard and BIOS upgrate (I first tried with BIOS V2.1) did not help either - the same symptoms remain.
