I have rEFInd installed. I was able to install and boot Ubuntu 13.04 just fine. I was able to install openSUSE 12.3 just fine, even with my thunderbolt display connected to my new 27" thunderbolt display. I installed from a DVD that I burned from the iso I downloaded. During the install the external display was at a great resolution, everything was working great. However, upon install complete and it asking for a reboot, then rebooting, then selecting my new option in rEFInd for OpenSUSE I got the following...
It just stops, nothing further happens. It doesn't matter if I have the display port plugged in or not, normal or single user mode selected in rEFInd or not. It doesn't matter.

I did notice that Ubuntu works using 3.8.0-19-generic (listed the rEFInd menu),openSUSE is using 3.7.10-1.1-desktop. Also, Ubuntu was using the following for the display driver...
x.org x server - amd/ati display driver wrapper from xserver-xorg-video-ati
I really really want this to work as my main development platform. I wasn't keen on all the Amazon **** in Ubuntu out the gate. So, Im willing to really get this working, but striking out big time with the google goose chase. It baffles me that this installs without a hitch and then gets stuck on boot for something that worked fine during the install. So if you can help that's great!
I also noticed in the "Software" list for the install that there were proprietary drivers being installed. :( Most likely the broadcom wireless (although I was wired during install) and maybe an ati driver, but I would like to know at that point in time what specifically was being installed and or how to get that list once this boots up.
