My laptop running tumbleweed refuse to boot after I accidentally interrupt the update process. I choose to reinstall instead of manually fixing the problems.
Downloaded the tumbleweed ISO (20160920, x86-64), md5sum match.
Boot the USB to install, greeted with grub menu and I’m able to choose the option to install.
Installation proceeded with that green loading bar thingy at the bottom, the loading bar finish but it stuck there.
The log doesn’t show any progress except a single line ‘loading basic drivers…’.
I doubt it has anything to do with hardware compatibility since I installed and used Tumbleweed just fine before; (except if there was change in Tumbleweed install boot since the last installation).
Previous OS install was around early May.
Installing on Thinkpad E450. Intel i5-5200U, HD Graphics 5500.
Sometimes hardware detection can take a long time sometimes.
Recommend you start your install, then walk away and give it at least 45min (My guess maximum for even hard to detect hardware), while only glancing at your screen before considering the install absolutely frozen.
It might also help to wipe the root partition, make it free, unformatted space (assuming your /home is a separate partition) before re-installing.
During your re-installation, you can point to your /home so it’s migrated to your new install.
As always, backup or copy anything you value to external or remote media.
Oh wow. Finally it moved after like 30 minutes of waiting. Thanks.
There is no way I could pass it as working normally as usual though, especially when previous install took less than a minute to bring me to the license agreement page.
