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.

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.

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!
