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.

I'm not sure - there the ?hci-hcd modules all appear to be present. -- 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.

ohci-hcd uhci-hcd ehci-hcd xhci-hcd hid usbhid

whereas the -xen flavor out of these only gets xhci-hcd. Why this is (or how to get mkinitrd to produce sufficiently verbose output to determine the reason) needs to be looked at (suggested by) a mkinitrd person.

Michal Marek owns the mkinitrd package. Perhaps he can answer this question. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785603 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785603#c6 --- Comment #6 from Earl Ruby 2012-11-22 01:40:34 UTC --- The -xen flavor *does* have ohci-hcd uhci-hcd ehci-hcd xhci-hcd hid usbhid. Scroll your window to the left when viewing http://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=509955 The missing module is hid-generic, which is listed in the /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/boot-usb.sh script but which can't be found and is not included. Weird mkinitrd behavior #1, probably not related: modprobe gives the error "Module hid_generic not found" for *both* the -desktop and -xen flavors, but the USB keyboard only fails to be active when booting the Xen kernel. I can unlock the encrypted LVM just fine when booting the -desktop kernel. Weird mkinitrd behavior #2, probably not related: The /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/boot-usb.sh script lists ohci_hcd and ehci_hcd (names with underscores), mkinitrd shows ohci-hcd and ehci-hcd as successfully included modules (names with dashes). They're included in both the -desktop and -xen flavors, so it appears to work, but seems odd that the names don't match. Possibly relevant clue: When booting -desktop, I get a graphical screen with a prompt for the passphrase to unlock the LVM. When booting -xen, I get textmode (no graphics) and when I get the text prompt to unlock the LVM, my keyboard does nothing. (In reply to comment #2)

The -xen flavor *does* have ohci-hcd uhci-hcd ehci-hcd xhci-hcd hid usbhid. Scroll your window to the left when viewing http://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=509955

Yeah, sorry, it's the -desktop flavor that only gets xhci-hcd ([uoe]hci-hcd are all built in there).

...

The missing module is hid-generic, which is listed in the /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/boot-usb.sh script but which can't be found and is not included.

As mentioned elsewhere (perhaps in the referenced bug): 3.4 simply doesn't have such a module, it got introduced in 3.5 only.

...

Possibly relevant clue: When booting -desktop, I get a graphical screen with a prompt for the passphrase to unlock the LVM. When booting -xen, I get textmode (no graphics) and when I get the text prompt to unlock the LVM, my keyboard does nothing.

So why don't you make Xen match (by passing "vga=mode-<number>" to the hypervisor, with <number> matching the value passed via "vga=" to the native kernel)? -- 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.
