When I do, I get a black screen after the restart and it's stuck on the black screen. I tested this on 5 different computers, and the bug was there on all 5 computers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 1 2.Reboot after the installation 3.Notice the black screen Actual Results: Black screen Expected Results: Boot into openSUSE Major
Same here on X86_64. I got a distorted screen. I saw 2..3 lines of text, starting with doing a fast boot .... Numlock is working still. At now I cannot find my serial cable to get konsole output :-;
Could you, please, specify "After installation"? Which is the last screen you can see?
I just installed Milestone 2 x86_64 from the dvd. After the first part of the install with auto configuration (all normal), my computer rebooted to a black screen with a white cursor. I did ctrl>alt>F1 and it took me to a text screen where the last output was ***Starting YaST2*** and a blinking cursor. Nothing else happened, so I did ctrl>C and it looked to be completing the boot process and gave me a login prompt. I couldn't log in as normal user as none had been created. I logged in as root and checked 'hwinfo --gfxcard and my nvidia 8600GTS was listed using the nv driver. I tried sax2 -r -m 0=vesa but sax2 just hung up. I then switched to text install and started over. I was able to get to the configuration part of the install that way, which finished with no problems. When I started X, I got another black screen with a white cursor. This time the sax2 command worked and got me to the gui. Everything seems normal after that.
OK, then an X bug, not bootloader.
Jesse, would it be possible to provide the required information according to our HOWTO http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:X for reporting X11 related bugs? Please set the Status back to ASSIGNED after providing all the required information. Thanks.
