Description Anas Nashif 2005-09-08 03:44:05 UTC

In second stage of installation I choose to run YOU and installed the nvidia
patch, when yast2 finishes installation and the system comes up I get a blank
screen and the system freezes.

This is a Dell Precision 670 with EMT64 SMP and an Quadro NVS 280 PCI-E/Quadro
FX 330

I tried running Sax2, it also freezes the system.
hwinfo and X log files attached. Let me know if you need other files.

reassign

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-08 12:50:01 UTC

Ok. Output of Xorg logfile stop suddenly. Maybe Andy has an idea ...
Call "switch2nv" for now to use "nv" driver instead.

I don't see anything obviously wrong, but it may be worth checking out the patch
here:

  http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=56150

or going through your SBIOS settings and make sure that support
for the no-exec page protection mechanism isn't disabled.

I hope that helps.

I was not aware of this patch. Unfortunately it's probably already to late to
include it for 10.0-final.

Comment 9 Anas Nashif 2005-09-17 19:17:45 UTC

disabling no-exec in the bios solved the problem

Comment 10 Anas Nashif 2005-09-17 19:18:08 UTC

I mean enabling of course :-)

Comment 11 Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-18 14:45:51 UTC

fixed (applied the patch) for 10.1 and next kernel update of 10.0.
