[Bug 712752] New: Unable to boot Factory installed on USB 3.0 device
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712752 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712752#c0 Summary: Unable to boot Factory installed on USB 3.0 device Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rdb@ccb.ac.uk QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Factory is unable to boot from USB 3.0 devices (pen drives or hard drives) When connected to a USB 3.0 port, the boot process finds grub, passes the menu, starts up initrd, but fails trying to find the root file system, after trying to find the device. The problem does not occur when openSUSE is running from a USB 2.0 hard drive Nor does it occur when the USB 3.0 device is plugged into a USB 2.0 port (The drive can even be unplugged from the USB 3.0 port after Grub and plugged into a 2.0 port - the kernel will find it and boot will continue normally) This has been tested on 2 very different machines, with identical results. While I understand USB 3.0 devices are new, they are becoming more popular, and with openSUSE's history of supporting Live USB installations, etc, its likely this could prove a problem for many of our new users looking to try out openSUSE.
From the behaviour, I'd guess USB 3.0 drivers are not included in initrd, leading to this problem occurring. The USB 3.0 drives are seen perfectly once openSUSE has booted.
