From GRUB2 I can select the and boot the vmlinux-3.4.6-2.10-desktop.gz kernel and then enter my passphrase to unlock the encrypted LVM where the root and all other partitions besides /boot reside.
However, if I select the Xen kernel (vmlinux-3.4.6-2.10-xen.gz) when I get the prompt for the passphrase my USB keyboard no longer works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot machine with encrypted LVM and Xen kernel installed 2. Select Xen kernel 3. Can't unlock encrypted LVM Actual Results: Can't boot. Expected Results: Machine boots with Xen kernel. This sounds very similar to the bug reported with the 3.5 kernel here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=773559 However, when I tried to work-around by adding 'hid-generic' to the /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/boot-usb.sh file I found that 'hid-generic' ***was already listed.*** HOWEVER, running mkinitrd throws the error "modprobe: Module hid_generic not found." and searching for packages containing the file 'hid-generic' using the YaST2 Software Management tool returns no results. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
