Same problem with 11.4 Milestone6 GNOME LiveCD-i686.
(first attempt was with KDE LiveCD - i686)

Comment 2 Peter Festner 2011-01-31 00:29:06 UTC

Same problem with burned CD (KDE and Gnome).

Comment 3 Jiri Srain 2011-01-31 09:47:48 UTC

Looks to me as either bug in IMageWriter or in mastering of the image...

Comment 4 Bernhard Wiedemann 2011-01-31 10:18:40 UTC

It is on the most annoying bug list for MS6 since release.
you can either use MS5 LiveCDs from
http://mirror.zq1.de/opensuse/11.4-MS5/
or newer Build1038 from
http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/

Comment 5 Vadim Plessky 2011-01-31 10:25:49 UTC

I also have setup of OpenSUSE 11.4 Factory, and latest update (#zypper up) brought up kernel 2.6.37 (not RC)
System doesn't boot with that kernel, but boots fine with previous kernel 2.6.37-RC5.

If latest MS5 has latest kernel - this can affect LiveCD too.

Comment 6 Bernhard Wiedemann 2011-01-31 10:58:20 UTC

Yes, current Factory still has same kernel as MS6, so there could be another problem with the kernel.
in that case, a more precise description of the setup+error
and/or a kernel log would be nice... but better in a separate bugzilla entry.

Comment 7 Vadim Plessky 2011-01-31 11:07:07 UTC

I am ready to provide kernel log.
Just tel me how to get it - if system doens't boot from LiveCD, I can't get even text login:

Would dmesg from existing installation help?
