The bad: The installer has a program blkid which is invoked when installing the kernel-default. This installation process runs dracut which runs blkid. blkid reveals (I believe) a kernel bug that appears when it (blkid) accesses a swap area... it goes into an uninterruptible sleep... which is the END OF THE INSTALL. From the bug below you'll see that blkid w/o operands hangs and shutdown now (init 0) also hangs when it tries to turn off swap. Sigh...
If this is a bug in blkid that appears during the building of the initrd, it ought to be reproducible on virtually every install ? Maybe I'll crank up a xen guest with TW.
I forgot, only just yesterday I upgraded a TW desktop, new kernel 5.5.9, so initrd was rebuilt. No problem. Running 'blkid' without arguments: # blkid /dev/sda1: UUID="ca3b748f-7ce5-4e83-8a35-7801a6a7d898" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="837f9747-01" /dev/sda2: UUID="3f44a97f-c1cf-4e45-b66e-959881f194fe" TYPE="jfs" PARTUUID="837f9747-02" When your 'blkid' gets hung up, it must be environment dependent. My new xen guest with TW is just about ready, I'll report later. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
