Hello All, I am getting past the grub menu. I found more information, though. Apparently, the default SuSE 9.3 kernel does not handle some aspect of the multiple core cpus well. If you boot with maxcpus=1, it will boot properly. http://www.beowulf.org/archive/2005-July/013273.html claims that, once you get it booted, you need to compile rc3 of kernel 2.6.12. This seems odd though; 2.6.12-rc3 came out in April, but the message was posted this month. He may be referring to 2.6.13-rc3, the current release candidate. At any rate, SuSE released an updated kernel package set in June, so I am going to try those packages once my reinstall concludes. -Adam On Wednesday, July 27, 2005, at 11:53AM, Mike Leo <mleo963@yahoo.com> wrote:
can you try one of SUse's LIve CD's?
Also, are you getting a lilo/grub menu or does the "error" occur before that?

Hello All,
I am trying to install SuSE 9.3 on a dual dual-core Opteron system. I can boot into the installation kernel and do an installation, but when the system reboots it boots to a black screen with a ~2 inch horizontal green line in the upper left-hand corner. I am not sure where to start troubleshooting this, since I do not have much error output.
The things I know so far:
o Knoppix 3.9 boots fine and runs off CD. o SuSE 9.2's installation kernel boots to the same state. o My install of 9.3 was a basic "click next" install. o http://www.beowulf.org/archive/2005-July/013234.html indicates there may be some issue with the initrd, but does not say what the guy did. My impression is that I am not even getting that far, though.
Any help/hints/direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much!
