Hi, I recently got a new graphics card to replace my old one (the old one being a 7800 and the new being a R9 380 - both AMD cards).
After I put in the new graphics card, the system booted fine, but now if I want to change the kernel parameters I can’t.
As soon as the bootloader module is loaded and I switch to the kernel parameters tab it freezes. Starting from the console didn’t produce anything on the command line.
Edit /etc/default/grub, variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, and run “update-bootloader --refresh”. You can also start text mode yast using “yast” in terminal.
At the Grub2 menu, select the entry by using the up/down key and “e” <for edit> (without the quotes).
Use the arrow key to navigate to the linux line ending in vga=795 or whatever your setting is and type: nomodeset
Press the F10 key to start the boot process.
FYI
Try installing the AMD/ATI drivers provided via the Yast Software Repositories.
Your are welcome.
I used to experience freeze ups with my Nvidia card when running Q&A with Leap’s milestones and betas.
Hopefully, once you get the proper drivers and updates installed the freeze up should disappear.
I would recommend that you enable your DEBUG repositories. If you keep experiencing
freeze ups or crashes you’ll be able to report them to Bugzilla or https://bugs.kde.org.
