I recently updated from OS 11.2 to OS 11.3 and right after that had problems with my X.org server.
If started with normal settings X crashes in runlevel 5, so right at the end of the boot process.
If started with x11debug option X works, However I cannot use wine with this option.
boot.msg (no debug options):
I don’t even have an idea how to look for the problem, but there must be some feature that causes X to crash, which is not included in the debug-mode.
Did you add nomodeset to the boot argument and do
the System/Kernel option NO_KMS_IN_INITRD from “No” to “Yes” in the /etc/sysconfig Editor in Yast.
Try booting in Failsafe first, it has the nomodeset option in it’s arguments already.
I hadn’t set these options, yet, but I tried and they couldn’t solve my problem.
My failsafe option doesn’t include that nomodeset option, but it starts the X server with limited options as I said already. The option responsible for this is x11failsafe not x11debug as I called it earlier.
My failsafe mode:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HM120JI_S09GJ30LB62942-part2 showopts ide=nodma apm=off noresume edd=off powersaved=off nohz=off highres=off processor.max_cstate=1 x11failsafe vga=0x367
Adding nomodeset to my normal boot option unfortunately didn’t do the trick.
That kernel is not 11.3
That kernel is not 11.3
Well spotted Carl!

I think you need to tell us more about how you upgraded, and maybe provide the output of
zypper lr -d
Wow, never saw that …
Well, I replaced all Repositories from 11.2 with the ones from 11.3, than
zypper update
Here is the output from zypper lr -d

I’ll try obtain the new kernel now.
You need to delete (or adjust) that Packman repo - its for 11.2!
Usually you would use
zypper dup
for this type of upgrade.
Oh, ****, thank you.
OK it works now.
Turns out the command line update doesn’t recognize some of the updates or cannot find an update strategy. The GUI-Software-Management however does, so I got all the missing packages including the kernel. Hope my next update will work better.
Thanks to everyone who helped me.
