Grub kicks off and after a few words about the kernel we get to the point where this message displays itself. After that nothing for about 5 min then the cpu error’s quoted below.
doing fast boot
Creating device nodes with udev
At frist I was able to by pass the issue by changing the vga=0x317 to some other value. But just like last time I had to use that trick, it only works so many times before you run out of options.
I have quoted the system spec below let me know if you need anything else to suggest a fix.
After my system gets to doing fast boot, Creating device nodes with udev it hangs for several minutes.
Then it starts with a repeating error message: Modprobe 102
BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (Working, needed to install bcm firmware)
BCM2070 Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (works some times, doesn't seem to load right but thatmight have something to do with the fact that is shows under lsusb. I need to learn how to reset a usb device)
Are you saying it doesn’t work period. Or just that you will need to make it work, because it should work given that you do the same to make it so as you did for kernel-default
After I installed the Wireless firmware and reboot I noticed that it had installed the default kernel. I am thinking about reversing that install to see if that fixes this boot freeze.
Also on a side note I know have to restart the system three times to get it to boot.
When I change the boot options such as vga=… I think I am clearing some config out and allowing a new one to be made or used. Is there command that will allow me to do this every time?
Uninstalled the extra kernel and rebooted, no more freezing up.
**Lesson learned: **Be careful to select the packages for your kernel, even if the system automatically choose packages for you check them before installing.
I have a Samsung R528 Laptop. I had exactly the same problem after upgrading to 11.4. This problem might possibly related to KMS feature of the kernel
The problem was solved after adding the boot option ACPI_OSI=“Linux”
Please refer to the following ubuntu forum Link for more details
[SOLVED] How to set NOMODESET and other kernel boot options in grub2 - Ubuntu Forums](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132)
On booting again next day booting freezes at a different point. Other than setting Nomodeset none of the other kernel options seems to be working consistently.
Using Nomodeset gets the Gnome desktop everytime. But the desktop resolution doesnot reach the max. value and remain fixed in the monitor applet. Meaning the proper graphics driver could not be loaded. This problem could be kernel specific and less to do with the openSUSE 11.4
I suppose experienced users could easily disable the kernel detection/switching of graphics hardware and then explicitly telling to the kernel to load an appropriate older display driver to get the full display capabilities (in my case Intel). But this could break some other features of the system.
I suspect there may be some issue with the way the Samsung R528 Laptops BIOS implementation of ACPI/interrupt handling is done. Hopefully future kernel versions will resolve this/or samsung updates the bios to better work with Linux.
But right now the workaround appears to be painful and requires me to learn quite a lot of Linux internals and hopefully I will become more knowledgeable and comfortable with Linux after that.
I am a Mechanical Engineer and I use CAD on Windows most of the time. With the recent improved availability of excellent CAD packages on Linux I was planning to completely switch to Linux and hopefully that will be very soon.

this is what nomodeset does it turns off the detection.
Do someone can provide a little more details about this? What means “extra kernel”, which packages should be checked ?
I also had the same problem on my laptop (acer aspire one), but when I set acpi=off, many other “things” dont work properly such display resolution etc
Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family
chip: Intel GMA 950
the problem is the same as in this thread … sometimes boot is ok (and all other is ok) sometimes boot freeze exactli how described in first post … and when I set acpi=off boot is always ok but exist other problems then.
