Description Forgotten User N1m2whZ-xl 2006-02-04 02:13:58 UTC

After installation, no X was present.
Calling sax2 does produce a black screen and does not return.

This is "ps x":

Hardware is a Targa Traveller notebook with Turion64 CPU and ATI chipset.

Comment 1 Forgotten User N1m2whZ-xl 2006-02-04 02:24:11 UTC

I need to use these boot parameters:

turion:0 03:20:29 /boot # cat /proc/cmdline 
auto BOOT_IMAGE=suse101 ro root=303 selinux=0 console=tty0 no_timer_check irqpoll acpi=off showopts
turion:0 03:21:15 /boot # 

Without "acpi=off" I get kernel oopses during boot.
I even needed this during installation.

Hmm, I assume a driver problem. Could you send a log file

  /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Thanks

Comment 3 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-07 10:31:53 UTC

The radeon driver on Beta3 has serious problem. Could you try again with Beta3? Thanks.

Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-07 11:09:05 UTC

... Beta3?
    ^^^^^^ Beta4 :-)

Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-20 11:29:11 UTC

Looks like this isn't an issue any more. Feel free to reopen, when the problem reoccurs with Beta > 3. Thanks.
